Chocolate liqueur is surprisingly super easy to make! Drink it straight, with coffee, drown your salted caramel ice cream in it or give it as a gift in a cute bottle.. the uses are endless for this sweet treat!
All you need to make approx. 1 litre of liqueur is:
580ml of whole milk- 195ml of double cream
- 200ml of vodka (ABV 45%)
- 75g of bitter cocoa powder
- 85g of dark chocolate
And this is how you mix the ingredients:
Combine the milk, cream and sugar in a pot and bring to simmer.- Add the cocoa powder little by little using a sieve and stirring with a whisk to keep it nice and smooth.
- Stir the mixture slowly for about 10 mins while it simmers.
- Chop up the dark chocolate and add it in the pot to melt it in the other ingredients.
- Once the chocolate is melted, let the mixture cool down.
- Finish by adding the vodka and giving it a good stir!
- Once completely cold pour it in airtight glass bottles and enjoy within 90 days.
You can get creative and add extra flavour to your chocolate liqueur. Infuse the milk with dry orange peel, mint leaves or cinnamon sticks over night and take them out before you start cooking 😉
