A nightcap for the kids (without the Irish Cream ) and one for the adults! We made it for the first time today but we will be making this again and again and again…
I added more Bailey’s and I’m not ashamed to admit it! It was deeelicious!!
Very nice treat on a chilly fall night!! I added an extra tablespoon of Irish cream and it was delicious!!!
I added a few dashes of aromatic bitters just to give it a little extra something, and it was glorious. This is *the* way I’m going to make hot chocolate from now on.
Very good! Did add 1more tablespoon of Irish Cream and my tablespoons for the sugar and cocoa powder were heaping when measured ??
Really good! I had a nut milk on hand (cashew-almond) and wasn’t sure how it would work, but it came out excellent! I topped it with some whipped cream and dusted with cocoa. More Irish cream wouldn’t be a bad idea! A delicious treat! UPDATE: Much better with extra Irish cream! Really yummy on a cold night.
This drink is also really good cold, as just an adult chocolate milk (i used creamer but)
I also made it with amaretto instead and it was just as good!
This tasted amazing. There is so little Irish cream in it, that it more just flavors the hot chocolate like a creamer. I used low fat milk and 1/2 packet of Truvia for the sugar. I just used the microwave to heat up the milk and water. I topped it with some sprayed whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I might just whisk the milk up, next time with the Aerolatte, to thicken it up a little. I can see an Irish cream dairy creamer being a fine subtitute for this. This makes a nice evening hot chocolate, though. TY
The perfect hot chocolate on a cold day.
Very good. I did add just a tad more Bailey’s 🙂
Absolutely perfect! A real gem!
Delicious! Heated it in the microwave like someone else suggested and it was done fast!
WOW! Did as others have suggested, adding whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg – WOW! My new special indulgence!
Sipping this now… I love it! Husband just informed me that “this is yummy!” so it’s getting 5 stars from us. My only change was to heat everything in the microwave. Water first to make my paste, then mixed that while I heated milk. This is fantastic. I might add some cinnamon or whipped cream next time on top, but perfect as is. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
GREAT chocolate drink–I’ve been looking for a good chocolate drink with Irish Cream and this one was perfect. I made a big batch (for a party) using a ratio of one hot chocolate packet (dark Swiss Miss) to every 3/4 cup milk and 1 TB Irish Cream. Blended it then topped each glass with whipped cream. YUM! It was a huge hit. Thanks 😀
Mmm! This is yummy! It’s a perfect way to end a winter day.
I didn’t use the Irish cream liqueur because I made this for my daughter and she thought it was the best hot chocolate she has ever had. Thanks for sharing
Very yummy! I substituted the Irish Cream liquor for Irish Cream liquid coffee creamer and Splenda instead of granulated sugar and it was to die for! Top it off with a dallop of whipped cream.
Delicious. I put 2 Tablespoons Irish Cream ( long day) and used splenda instead of sugar and fat free milk. Totally justified.
YUMMMY! Enough said. ;o)
