“I do not mess around with my hot chocolate. As a pastry chef, it’s practically required to have a killer hot chocolate recipe at the ready when the cold months come knocking (mine is my European ganache-like roots meets my American Swiss Miss memories).But after all, my point of view on food is the voice of Milk Bar and nothing that we do is ordinary. So I like to turn up the volume on a great base hot chocolate by spiking it with some rich and creamy Baileys Irish Cream and make things even more interesting with either coffee kick or a punch of peppermint!” — Christina Tosi, chef/founder/owner of Milk BarRecipe created by Christina Tosi for Baileys Original Irish Cream
