chocolate syrup

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate melted

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder + sugar

Melted dark chocolate is richer and healthier.

Mix 1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder with 1 tsp of instant coffee granules or espresso powder in a bowl.

Add a little hot water or cream to help mix the cocoa and coffee together.

Combine the coffee cocoa mixture with 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp of almond extract (if using) in a blender.

Blend the mixture on low speed for about 30 seconds.

Add 1 and 2/3 cups of Irish whiskey to the blender and blend for another 30 seconds.

Pour the mixture into a bottle for storage, being careful not to spill.

Seal the bottle and refrigerate the Irish cream.
