How to Make Chocolate Baileys Cocktail with Toasted Marshmallows
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 200g milk chocolate, chopped
- Coles Chocolate Fudge Topping (to serve)
- 2 Arnott’s Granita biscuits, finely crushed
- 6 large marshmallows
- 1/2 cup Baileys Original liqueur
- 1/3 cup chilled vodka
Directions
- Combine the milk and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring for 5 mins or until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Carefully pour this into a heatproof jug and place in the fridge for 2 hours to chill.
- Next, place the chocolate topping in a shallow bowl and the biscuit crumbs on a plate. Dip the rim of each glass in the chocolate topping, then in the crumbs to coat.
- Preheat your grill on medium and line a baking tray with foil. Thread the marshmallows onto bamboo skewers, cover the exposed ends of the skewers with foil, and place them on the lined tray. Cook under the grill for 2 mins or until the marshmallows are lightly toasted.
- Finally, place the chilled milk mixture, Baileys, and vodka in a cocktail shaker. Shake until well combined or stir in a large jug. Pour evenly into each glass and top with the toasted marshmallows.
