Irish Cream Hot Chocolate Recipe – easy keto diet friendly hot chocolate recipes with a low carb version of Baileys. 

Irish Cream Hot Chocolate

I’ve had a bottle of Irish Cream Essence lingering in my kitchen for a while. I shared a recipe for Chocolate Mousse on my other blog and thought I’d share another Irish Cream delight right here for you.  

Irish Cream Essence is handy to have on hand to be able to enjoy the delicious flavour of Baileys but without carbs. (Here’s where to find it.)

The below recipe will make one Irish Cream Hot Chocolate, for more simply double the recipe.

Start with 1/4 teaspoon of Irish Cream Essence, have a taste and add more if you want a richer taste. You could also swap out the Irish Cream Essence for another essence to flavour your hot chocolate with peppermint, orange or vanilla. 

Low Carb Irish Cream Hot Chocolate

• 1 Cup Almond Milk (Or milk or choice) 
• 1/4 Cup Cream
• 25g Dark Chocolate
• 1/4 teaspoon Irish Cream Essence
• Whipped Cream (Optional) 

1. Pour the cream and milk into the saucepan. 
2. Chop the chocolate and add to the saucepan. 
3. Place the saucepan over a medium heat. 
4. Heat, stirring regularly, until the hot chocolate just comes up to a simmer. 
5. Pour into a mugand stir through the Irish cream essence. 
6. Enjoy as is or top with (optional) whipped cream. 

This is such a delicious low carb hot chocolate. Especially so if you’re a Baileys fan, have been craving the taste and missing it since going Keto.
