Loving Cup: Irish hot chocolate

by Sarah Steimer

I wish I would have thought of Irish hot chocolate when I had snow days in college.

For the hot chocolate

• Your favorite hot chocolate recipe
• Baileys Irish Cream liqueur, as much as you’d like

Combine the two. This isn’t so much a recipe as it is a good idea. And you’re welcome.

For the whipped cream

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip cream until white peaks begin to appear. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat a little more until it’s at a whipped cream consistency you know and love. Makes about two cups. Add to your Irish hot chocolate and garnish with some shaved chocolate. Dab a little of the whipped cream on your nose for extra pizazz.
