Cap the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour, strain, and divide the liquid between the two glasses being careful not to pour over the garnished rims. Squirt a good dollop of whipped cream in each glass. Make sure to anchor the whipped cream to the inside of the glasses.

Notes
Helpful tips
For sprinkle rims, dip a finger in simple syrup and run it around the edge of the glass. Roll the rim in a shallow dish of sprinkles, then gently tap off the excess. Try to keep the syrup mostly on the rim so the sprinkles stay neat.
If you do not want to buy whipped cream vodka, vanilla vodka is a good substitute.
Godiva liqueurs have been discontinued, so if you cannot find it, use another white chocolate liqueur instead.
I use Disaronno, but any almond liqueur works. If almonds aren't your thing, white crème de cacao is a good alternative.
When pouring the cocktail, aim for the center of the glass so you do not wash the sprinkles off the rim.
For an extra dessert-like finish, you can use a thin layer of vanilla frosting instead of simple syrup before dipping the rims in sprinkles.
