Ingredients
Scale
Dairy and Liquor:
- 1 cup hot chocolate
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 1 12 ounces (340 grams) Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 ounce (28 grams) vodka (optional)
Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles
Garnish:
- Marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
- Select a generously sized ceramic mug to create your indulgent winter beverage.
- Carefully brew rich, steaming hot chocolate, filling approximately three-quarters of the mug with the warm liquid.
- Gently nestle a smooth scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream into the center of the hot chocolate, allowing it to slowly sink and create a luxurious, velvety texture.
- Delicately pour Baileys Irish Cream and vodka over the surface, creating an elegant blend of spirits that will enhance the drink’s complexity.
- With a long-handled spoon, softly integrate the ingredients, watching the ice cream gradually dissolve and create a silky, decadent mixture.
- Crown the beverage with a billowing layer of fluffy whipped cream, creating a cloud-like peak that extends slightly above the mug’s rim.
- Artfully scatter chocolate shavings, festive sprinkles, or pillowy marshmallows across the whipped cream surface for a visually stunning and textural finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while the drink remains warm and the toppings are pristine, inviting immediate enjoyment of this playful, adult-friendly winter cocktail.
Notes
- Swap out regular milk for dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk to create a vegan-friendly version of this indulgent drink.
- Adjust the alcohol content by reducing or omitting vodka and Baileys for a kid-friendly mocktail that still feels special.
- Use sugar-free hot chocolate mix and low-fat ice cream to make a lighter, less caloric version of the Dirty Snowman.
- Experiment with different ice cream flavors like chocolate or peppermint to add unique twists to the classic recipe.
