Ingredients

Irish Cream Coffee Base

2 shots espresso freshly brewed
1 cup milk whole or oat milk
2 tablespoons Irish cream syrup nonalcoholic preferred
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup optional richness
0.5 cup whipped cream optional topping
1 tablespoon chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

Brew the espresso until bold and aromatic. Divide it evenly between two coffee mugs.
Warm the milk gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in Irish cream syrup and chocolate syrup.
Froth the warm milk mixture until creamy with soft bubbles. Avoid overheating for silky smooth texture.
Pour the Irish cream milk slowly into the espresso. Stir gently for balanced flavor throughout each cup.
Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy immediately while warm and comforting.

Notes

Use extra frothing for thicker foam or less whisking for smoother texture. Freeze leftover espresso into cubes for chilled coffee versions later. Pour milk slowly during assembly for prettier layers. Customize flavors with caramel, cinnamon, or vanilla. Store leftover Irish cream milk refrigerated for two days.
