Ingredients

Scale

Baileys Whipped Cream:

120 milliliters whipping cream (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
1 tablespoon confectioner’s sugar

White Hot Chocolate:

360 milliliters whole milk, or milk of choice (1 1/2 cups)
20 grams powdered dry milk (2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon confectioner’s sugar
100 grams good-quality white chocolate, chopped (3 1/2 ounces; about 2/3 cup)
Pinch fine sea salt
Splash of Baileys Irish Cream liqueur (optional)

Instructions

Baileys Whipped Cream:

Add cold whipping cream to a large mixing bowl. Using a balloon whisk, whisk over an ice bath until soft peaks form. (As a shortcut, you can pour your cold whipping cream into a chilled metal mixing bowl and whip it with an electric hand mixer instead!)

Whisk in confectioner’s sugar and Baileys Irish Cream. Sit bowl in the refrigerator while you prepare the white hot chocolate.

White Hot Chocolate:

In a small saucepan, warm milk to steaming. (Do not boil.)

Whisk in powdered milk and confectioner’s sugar, followed by the chopped white chocolate. Stir gently, allowing the chocolate to melt.

Once chocolate has fully melted, stir in sea salt and Baileys (if using). Adjust salt,  sugar, and liqueur to taste.

Pour into mugs. Garnish with Bailey’s whipped cream and white chocolate shavings.

Serve immediately.
