Chocolate Irish Coffee

I adjusted the preparation of a recipe of the same title that i found on in mama's kitchen website, to boost the chocolate taste. i tried making this using a dried premium cocoa powder and it was ok; it was much better using melted dark chocolate because it had a depth and richness that was lacking with the dried cocoa powder. the original recipe called for 2 teaspoons creme de menthe, but i thought it was a bit overpowering, so i cut it back to 1 teaspoon and thought it was just right, a subtle hint of the mint yet not so proiminent that the other flavors were lost.

Steps

Place dark chocolate in irish coffee mug and microwave until melted , about 1 to 1 1 / 2 minutes.
Add hot brewed coffee and stir well , until chocolate and coffee are well blended.
Add whiskey.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream , then drizzle creme de menthe on top of the whipped cream mound.
If desired , garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
Serve hot.
