Tip:

To add a touch of indulgence and enhance the depth of flavors you can consider toasting some marshmallows and placing them on top of your cocktail along, with a dollop of whipped cream. The charred and caramelized notes from the marshmallows beautifully complement the Baileys and velvety hot chocolate creating a delightful contrast in both texture and taste. Not does this elevate the appeal of the drink but it also adds a nostalgic twist reminiscent of cozy evenings by a campfire. Who could resist the allure of a toasted marshmallow, on a winter night?

Frequently Asked Questions:

Many hot chocolate mixes contain gluten as a thickening agent so choose one that is clearly labeled as gluten-free. These types of mixes are often made with cocoa and sweeteners without any additional fillers or ingredients that contain gluten. Also make sure that your vanilla ice cream and Bailey's Irish Cream are free, from gluten as some brands might use flavorings or additives that contain it.
