Can I make these without vodka?

Yes. This version of Frozen Mudslides does not need vodka at all.

Can I use another Irish cream?

Absolutely. Baileys is classic, but Ryan’s, O’Reilly’s, or Amarula all work well in this recipe.

Can I make them less thick?

Yes. Use slightly less ice cream or add a small splash of liquid if you want a looser texture.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Yes, if you use a dairy-free vanilla ice cream. That keeps it creamy without dairy.

Do I need chocolate syrup on the glass?

You do not need it, but it adds a lot to the look and flavor of Frozen Mudslides .

Are these basically a milkshake?

They are similar in texture, which is why people often think of Frozen Mudslides as an adult milkshake.

Instructions

Prep the glass.
Choose a wide glass that is comfortable to hold, such as a stemless wine glass or another broad-rimmed serving glass. Turn the glass slightly on its side and drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside, starting near the bottom and working upward toward the rim. Rotate the glass as you go so the syrup leaves a swirled pattern. This step gives Frozen Mudslides their classic chocolate-coated look.
Blend the drink.
Add the Kahlua, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla ice cream to a blender. Blend until the mixture looks smooth, thick, and creamy. The texture should feel like a milkshake, but still pour easily. This is what gives Frozen Mudslides their signature frozen dessert-drink body.
Fill the glass.
Pour the blended mixture into the chocolate-swirled glass. Fill it evenly and leave a little room at the top for garnish.
Garnish and serve.
Top the drink with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Serve immediately while Frozen Mudslides are cold, thick, and frosty.

Notes

For a stronger cocktail, some versions add vodka.
Dairy-free vanilla ice cream can work for a lactose-free variation.
Serve right away for the best texture.
