For Glass Rim:
- ¼ cup (42g) white chocolate, melted
- ¼ cup (42g) milk chocolate shavings
For Drink:
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups hot chocolate
- ½ cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 cup (120g) whipped cream, for topping
- Prepare Glass Rims: In two separate dishes, pour the melted white chocolate into one and the milk chocolate shavings into the other. This will be used to coat the rims of the glasses.
- Coat Glass Rims: Dip the rims of each glass first into the melted white chocolate ensuring an even layer sticks, then immediately dip them into the milk chocolate shavings to create a decorative, sweet crust around the rims.
- Add Ice Cream: Place two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into each prepared glass, providing a creamy cold base for the drink.
- Pour Hot Chocolate and Baileys: Carefully pour hot chocolate over the ice cream in each glass, then add Baileys Irish Cream on top, allowing the ingredients to combine and warm the drink with a slight boozy kick.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each glass with a generous amount of whipped cream and sprinkle any remaining milk chocolate shavings on top for added texture and sweetness. Serve immediately to enjoy the luscious blend of temperatures and flavors.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly prepared hot chocolate for warmth and rich flavor.
- You can substitute Baileys with another coffee or cream-flavored liqueur if preferred.
- Use quality vanilla ice cream to enhance the creaminess and overall taste.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot and cold elements before the ice cream melts completely.
- To make it non-alcoholic, simply omit the Baileys and add a splash of vanilla extract instead.
