Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully dissolved.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the pan and continue to whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Kahlúa, Baileys Irish Cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Taste the hot cocoa and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar.
Pour the hot cocoa into two mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Adults Only' hot cocoa responsibly!
