- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Notes
- I like to use Kahlua, Bailey’s Irish Cream, rum, vanilla vodka, bourbon or peppermint schnapps for this hot chocolate recipe.
- Feel free to add as much or as little liquor as you’d like.
- You can store leftovers in an airtight container, like a mason jar, and keep in the fridge.
