    Let this Baileys Hot Chocolate with Maple Whipped Cream bring you comfort and joy this holiday season - Indulgent, delicious and simple!

    When I think about Winter and the run up to Christmas I think about those early dark and cold evenings and how nice it is to be wrapped up all cozy inside with the fire roaring and a big hot steaming mug of hot chocolate 🙂

    Baileys Hot Chocolate with Whipped Maple Cream that is.

    Yep this right here is what Christmas is all about and why I love this time of year so much. If you've never made your own hot chocolate before then now is the time to start and I promise you'll never look back.

    I mean just look at it.....

    and yes that is a Ferrero Rocher plonked on the top for extra deliciousness.

    You'll notice that this is a dark hot chocolate drink which I love because it makes it not too sweet but feel free to make yours with milk chocolate if you prefer.

    To make the Baileys Hot Chocolate it's very simple. I heat up some milk until it just starts to simmer then turn off the heat. I then mix in some dark cocoa powder, brown caster sugar, instant espresso powder and dark chocolate chips. It's all stirred together until everything has melted and it's mixed together perfectly.

    Now it's time to add the Baileys. I add one shot of Baileys Chocolat Luxe which give the drink and extra intense chocolate hit however if you have Baileys Original in your cupboard don't worry about rushing off to buy the chocolate version because it'll do just fine. This recipe serves 2 large mugs and I used 1 shot of Baileys (feel free to add more to taste, there's no judging here).

    To make the Maple Whipped Cream I simply whipped some double cream or whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup until stiff. Then I filled a piping bag with the cream and piped it on top of the Baileys Hot Chocolate (I didn't manage to be so elegant at this stage but hey, that's part of the fun!) and of course the whole thing is topped with a Ferrero Rocher - YUM.
