- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup skim milk (you can also use non-dairy milk)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug or glass, stir together the white chocolate chips, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, skim milk, and Baileys Irish Cream until well mixed.
- Heat the Mixture: Place the mug in the microwave and heat for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the mixture is piping hot.
- Stir Thoroughly: Remove the mug from the microwave and stir well to ensure all the white chocolate chips and caramel sauce have completely melted and blended into the drink.

- You can substitute skim milk with your preferred non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the heating time depending on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overheating or underheating the drink.
- For an extra rich twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or a drizzle of caramel on top along with the whipped cream.
- This cocktail is best served warm; reheat gently if needed.
