Ingredients
Scale
Glass Rim
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles
Drink
- ½ cup vanilla ice cream (1 scoop)
- ¼ cup Kahlua
- 1 tablespoon dark creme de cacao liqueur
- 1 cup hot chocolate
- Whipped cream
Garnish (optional)
- Mini chocolate chips
- Coarse sanding sugar
- Additional chocolate syrup
- Additional chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Place the chocolate syrup onto a small plate. Turn the glass upside down and dip the rim into the chocolate syrup to coat it.
- Coat Rim with Sprinkles: Dip the syrup-coated rim into a shallow tray of chocolate sprinkles until the rim is evenly coated.
- Add Ice Cream: Place one scoop (½ cup) of vanilla ice cream into the prepared glass or mug.
- Add Liquors: Pour ¼ cup of Kahlua and 1 tablespoon of dark creme de cacao liqueur over the ice cream in the glass.
- Pour Hot Chocolate: Carefully pour 1 cup of hot chocolate over the ice cream and liqueurs.
- Top with Garnishes: Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top, then garnish with mini chocolate chips, coarse sanding sugar, additional chocolate syrup, and chocolate sprinkles as desired.
Notes
- Prepare the drink just before serving to maintain the ice cream texture and presentation.
- You can double or triple the hot chocolate and liquor amounts when making multiple servings, but pour over ice cream individually at serving time.
- Feel free to experiment with other liquors such as rum, coconut rum, Bailey’s, or chocolate vodka to customize the flavor.
- For a twist, substitute chocolate ice cream or a combination of ice cream flavors.
- This is a rich and indulgent drink; the balance between liquor and chocolate is mild but can be adjusted to be stronger if desired.
- Use a high-quality hot chocolate for the best flavor, such as the homemade recipe suggested on Hershey’s cocoa powder packaging.
