Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 ounces Semisweet chocolate chips

- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

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.
