Ingredients:

Irish Coffee and Irish Cream Cappuccino are traditionally made with an Irish Cream liqueur. Although tasty, the traditional coffee cocktail drinks are high in calories, fat and cholesterol.

This madeover recipe transforms the traditional beverages. By replacing the liqueur with a flavored coffee creamer and cocoa, replacing half & half with fat-free milk, and omitting the sugar and heavy whipping cream, it's lighter on calories but still full of flavor!
