Dirty Snowman
Made with hot chocolate, ice cream, creme de cacao liqueur and Kahlúa, this Dirty Snowman drink is an adult hot chocolate so rich and decadent that it’s the ultimate dessert drink, too!
Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream (1 large scoop)

- 1 tablespoon dark creme de cacao liqueur
- 1 cup hot chocolate
- Garnish: whipped cream, mini chocolate chips, chocolate sprinkles and/or chocolate syrup
Instructions

- Place ice cream into a mug.

- Pour prepared hot chocolate over the ice cream and liquor.
- Top with homemade whipped cream, mini chocolate chips, and chocolate sprinkles.
- Serve immediately with a spoon and/or straw.
Notes
Prepare drink just before serving. Since the hot chocolate will melt the ice cream, this is one drink that needs to be served immediately. You can combine the hot chocolate and liquor amounts in advance but pour over individual glasses with ice cream just before serving.
Use a quality hot chocolate. If you're using a store bought hot chocolate mix, opt for a quality one - not the cheapest one you can find, as it will affect the taste of the drink. Hershey's or Ghirardelli brands are great options.
Variations. Use your favorite liquors in this drink - rum, coconut rum, or Bailey’s would all be yummy. A chocolate vodka could also work. Or give it a peppermint flair with peppermint schnapps and crushed candy canes on top. This is a pretty rich drink. While the liquor taste is present, it's not overpowering so it definitely leaves room for adding an extra shot or two of your preferred liquor.
Make it kid-friendly. If you want to serve this to the whole family, simply leave out the liqueur and Kahlua for the kids.
