  • 50g milk chocolate

  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 50g whipping cream

Instructions

  • Chop the dark chocolate, and transfer it into a saucepan together with 4tbsp of the milk, melt on low-medium heat.
  • Once it starts melting add the cocoa powder and whisk again.
  • In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and sugar with 2 tbsp of the milk.
  • Whisk until the chocolate is smooth and melted, but don't durn it. Slowly start pouring the milk into the chocolate while constantly whisking.
  • Once all the milk is in and the chocolate is fully incorporated, whisk every 20-30seconds waiting for the milk to start boiling.
  • Boil for 10-20seconds and take it out of the heat.
  • Add the Baileys Irish cream and whisk again.
  • Add 2 tbsp Bailey's cream to the whipping cream and whisk with a mixer until thick and creamy.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into a mug and add spoon the whipping cream on top!

Notes

  • With these recipe measurements, you would fill each glass with around 150g of hot chocolate. If you prefer more or less, you can adjust the measurements accordingly.
  • Pre-measure all of the ingredients before cooking the hot chocolate because everything happens fast once the chocolate starts melting
  • The chocolate melts pretty quickly, so don't let it sit on the heat once it's melted, but quickly move to the next step.
  • I recommend using a whisk when making hot chocolate; this way, you would avoid burning the pan's bottom and having any lumps in the hot chocolate.
  • When pouring the milk, constantly whisk so that all the chocolate can get incorporated.
