½ oz white chocolate liqueur (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings (for the speckled effect!)

Pro Tips

Use fresh chocolate shavings! It melts slightly into the drink, giving it an even richer taste.
Want it stronger? Add an extra ½ oz vodka for more kick.
No white chocolate liqueur? Just use a little extra cream or add a splash of vanilla extract.
Make it dairy-free! Use coconut cream or oat milk instead of heavy cream.
Want an iced version? Shake everything with ice and serve it over a large ice cube for a chilled twist.

Cocktail shaker
Rocks glass
Fine grater (for chocolate shavings)
Spoon for stirring

Substitutions & Variations

No alcohol? Swap coffee liqueur for cold brew concentrate and vodka for vanilla extract + water.
