Fill glasses halfway with ice and top with the mudslide. Sprinkle each with a pinch of flaked salt.

Remove from heat and whisk the chocolate shavings into the hot milk until they dissolve. Add the hot coffee, sugar, and Irish Cream. Whisk until well combined and pour into individual mugs.

Top with a little whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
