Description

The Dirty Snowman is a rich, indulgent hot chocolate cocktail featuring a scoop of vanilla ice cream, creamy liqueurs like Kahlua and dark creme de cacao, and a topped rim of chocolate syrup and sprinkles. This festive drink combines warm hot chocolate with chilled ice cream and a splash of liquor, making it a perfect cozy treat for the winter season or any time you want a luxurious dessert beverage.

Ingredients

Scale

Rim Coating

  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles

Drink

  • 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream (1 large scoop)
  • 1/4 cup Kahlua (or RumChata or Bailey’s)
  • 1 tablespoon dark creme de cacao liqueur
  • 1 cup hot chocolate

Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate sprinkles
  • Chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rim: Place chocolate syrup on a small plate. Turn a glass mug upside down and dip the rim into the chocolate syrup to coat it evenly.
  2. Coat the rim with sprinkles: Immediately dip the syrup-coated rim into a shallow tray of chocolate sprinkles until fully coated. Set the mug aside carefully to avoid smudging the rim.
  3. Add ice cream: Place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream (about 1/2 cup) into the prepared mug with the coated rim.
  4. Add liqueurs: Pour 1/4 cup Kahlua and 1 tablespoon dark creme de cacao liqueur over the ice cream.
  5. Pour hot chocolate: Carefully pour 1 cup of hot chocolate over the ice cream and liqueur in the mug.
  6. Top and garnish: Add a generous dollop of homemade whipped cream on top, then sprinkle mini chocolate chips and extra chocolate sprinkles. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
  7. Serve immediately: Serve the drink right away with a spoon and/or straw to enjoy the contrast between warm hot chocolate and cold ice cream before it melts.

Notes

  • Prepare the drink just before serving as the hot chocolate will quickly melt the ice cream.
  • You can mix the hot chocolate and liquor in advance, but pour over ice cream individually just before serving to maintain texture.
  • Use a high-quality hot chocolate mix like Hershey’s or Ghirardelli for best flavor.
  • Customize the liqueurs to your taste: rum, coconut rum, Bailey’s, or chocolate vodka all work well. Peppermint schnapps and crushed candy canes add a festive twist.
  • To make this drink kid-friendly, omit the liqueurs and Kahlua and serve with just ice cream and hot chocolate.
