In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, dark chocolate chips, and sugar over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the Baileys Irish Cream and Kahlúa, stirring until well combined.
Pour the hot chocolate mixture into two mugs.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the Baileys and Kahlúa and add a teaspoon of instant coffee for a mocha flavor. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon to the hot chocolate mixture. You can also experiment with different liqueurs, such as peppermint schnapps for a minty twist or amaretto for a nutty undertone. For a vegan version, substitute the milk and cream with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
