Ingredients
- ◯ 2 oz of Baileys Irish Cream
- ◯ 2 oz of Kahlúa coffee liqueur
- ◯ 2 ounces of vodka
- ◯ Three scoops of vanilla ice cream
- ◯ 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup (plus more for decoration)
- ◯ Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

- ◯ Ice cubes
Equipment
- Blender
- Cups for measuring or shot glasses
- A tall glass, like a hurricane or highball glass

You can make the chocolate-drizzled glasses ahead of time and keep them in the freezer until you need them.
Instructions
1. Get your glass ready
Put 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup in a tall glass and swirl it around. Put it in the freezer while you make the drink.
2. Mix the ingredients together
Put Baileys, Kahlúa, vodka, vanilla ice cream, and a few ice cubes in a blender and blend. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour and decorate
Put the mixed drink into the glass that has been prepared. If you want, you can add whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate, and chocolate shavings on top.
4. Serve and have fun!
Serve right away while it’s still cold and creamy.
Serving Tips
- Swirl that syrup—Pour the drink into a glass with chocolate syrup inside for a fancier look.
- Chill your glass: Put your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to get a super frosty, restaurant-style look.
- Blend just right: Blend until smooth, but not for too long, or the ice cream will melt too much.
- Make it for adults or kids. For a version that kids can enjoy, leave out the alcohol and add chocolate milk.
- For the best dessert drink, top it with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate, and chocolate shavings.
Variations and Tips
- Not Baileys? Any Irish cream liqueur will do.
- Change the vanilla ice cream to low-fat frozen yogurt to make it lighter.
- To make it more chocolatey, add a scoop of chocolate ice cream or a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
- Instead of alcohol, mix chocolate milk, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup together.
Leftovers
If you have any left (which is unlikely), put it in a container that can go in the freezer and freeze it. You can blend it again later to make a slushy treat.
