Grown Up Hot Chocolate with Homemade Bailey’s Marshmallows.
Hi.
I’m dying to tell you about this boozy hot cocoa, but I drank my way down a few mugs and am currently trying to crawl my way out.
Like everything else this week, it wasn’t my idea… a bunch of you [like Allison] looked at me [virtually] as if I was insane for not putting the marshmallow vodka in hot chocolate.
I’m so glad I have smart invisible internet friends!
No more words.
Except… GET IT.
Grown Up Hot Chocolate
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups cream or half and half
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, I used Hershey’s Special Dark
- 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 4-6 ounces of marshmallow, or vanilla, cake, whipped cream vodka
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add milk and cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring every few minutes. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the milk to the cocoa and sugar, mixing thoroughly to create a paste. Once the entire thing is wet, use a spatula to add it to the milk and turn the heat down to low. Whisk continuously until smooth (do not let it boil), the whisk in chopped chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vodka, or add to each glass right before serving. Top with marshmallows and whipped cream.
- For the Bailey’s marshmallows, I used this exact recipe for beer marshmallows, substituting Bailey’s for beer.

Your grown up hot chocolate looks divine! I admit to recently trying smirnoff’s whipped creme vodka (seeing the miniatures, they looked interesting) to make some delicious white russians.
You just got a new subscriber!!! Can’t wait to see more recipes!! Looks like recipe that hubby and I will want to try!
Absolutely love ur recipes involving the flavored vodka. For months I’ve been adding it to hot cocoa, but this recipe will defiantly turn heads. I can’t wait to see what my hubby thinks. Thanks so much for making these available.

I am a minor so I did not add the marsh mellows, but I made the hot chocolate and it was fantastic! Thank you soooooo much!
I was thinking of using Kahula instead of Bailey’s. Should I still use one cup of Kahula?
I make a white russian marshmallow that would go great in these!

Hey I’m getting ready to try the marshmallows, did anyone cut the sugar because baileys has so much more sugar than beer… Were your results better?

I made the exact recipe, except I replaced the milk/dark chocolate & cocoa powder with white chocolate cocoa powder & white chocolate. OMG!! It was amazing. I never fancied myself a white chocolate fan, but now i can’t drink it any other way. Delicious!

I was planning on making these marshmallows with an old family recipe for Baileys (involving heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk). Do you know if it will still work, or does it rely on the preservatives from the store-bought Baileys to hold consistency? Also, since I will be mailing these as gifts, I was brainstorming on how to keep them: best idea so far being to vacuum seal and freeze. Will this ruin them?
Thanks!!
