- 1 cup hot chocolate

Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim
On a small plate, spread out 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup. Take your glass and dip the rim into the chocolate syrup to coat it evenly. Then, dip the chocolate-coated rim into chocolate sprinkles on a shallow tray to form a decorative coating around the rim. - Add Ice Cream
Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream (about ยฝ cup) into the prepared glass or mug. This will create a creamy and rich base for your drink. - Add Liquor
Pour ยผ cup Kahlua and 1 tablespoon dark crรจme de cacao liqueur over the ice cream in the glass. These additions contribute a delightful boozy depth. - Pour the Hot Chocolate
Carefully pour 1 cup of steaming hot chocolate over the ice cream and liquor mixture. The hot chocolate will slightly melt the ice cream, creating a creamy and luscious drink. - Top with Garnishes
Finish your Dirty Snowman by topping it with whipped cream and garnishing as desired. Add mini chocolate chips, sanding sugar, or drizzle additional chocolate syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy warm!
Notes
- Use high-quality hot chocolate for the best results; homemade or premium store-bought mixes work wonders.
- To make homemade whipped cream, beat heavy cream with a little sugar until soft peaks form.
- For an extra touch, warm the glass slightly before assembling (avoid making it too hot to prevent cracking).
- Substitute Baileys Irish Cream for Kahlua or adjust the alcohol according to taste.
