Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 1 ounce raspberry liqueur (e.g., Chambord)
- 0.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Stir occasionally until warm but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the semisweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sugar to the pan. Whisk constantly until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
In each serving mug, pour 1 ounce of vodka, 1 ounce of coffee liqueur, and 0.5 ounces of raspberry liqueur.
Divide the hot chocolate mixture evenly between the two mugs, pouring it over the liqueurs.
Gently stir to combine the hot chocolate and the liqueurs in each mug.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a handful of fresh raspberries, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting and decadent drink on a cozy evening.
