- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk together until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved.

Reduce the heat to low and add in the semisweet chocolate chips. Stir continuously with a whisk or a spoon until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue heating on low for another minute, ensuring everything is well blended.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur (or your chosen liqueur). Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the hot chocolate into a large mug. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your restful afternoon!
