Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly brewed strong coffee chilled before freezing.
- Use high-quality Irish whiskey to enhance the cocktail’s depth.
- Melt chocolate gently to prevent burning, using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts.
- The sweetened cream can be heavy cream mixed with sugar or store-bought sweetened cream.
- This recipe serves two but can be easily doubled for more servings.
- To make it less boozy, reduce the whiskey slightly.
