Simple Baileys hot chocolate recipe you can make at home

A hot chocolate is the perfect drink to get cosy with under a blanket and in front of the TV during these cold nights.

Julia at Happy Foods Tube has the perfect recipe for you to try - but with Baileys added, making it that extra bit better.

You will need a small saucepan, a whisk or wooden spoon and a mug or heat-proof glass.

It's super easy to make, and will only take around five minutes.

Ingredients

  • 250ml milk
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream
  • 30g dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp sugar

You can then add toppings of your choice such as a crushed flake, marshmallows, chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

Method

Julia explains: "In the sauce pan, combine milk, cocoa and dark chocolate. Stir with a whisk until the chocolate has melted. This only takes a few minutes and I highly recommend stirring the milk constantly.

"When ready, turn off the heat and stir in Baileys.

"Taste it and add sugar to your taste. I used only a little because I knew I would be topping it with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

"If you like your hot chocolate on the sweet side, definitely add more sugar.

"Honey can also be added to sweeten this hot chocolate instead of sugar if preferred!"
