INGREDIENTS
Ingredients for about 1.3 liters of chocolate liqueur: Whole milk 3 ¼ cups (750 g); Sugar 1 ¼ cup (250 g); Fresh liquid cream 1 cup (250 g); Pure alcohol 5.3 oz (150 g); Unsweetened cocoa powder 1 ¼ cup (100 g); Dark chocolate 3.5 oz (100 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Chocolate Liqueur

To prepare the chocolate liqueur, start by combining the milk and cream in a large pot 1. Add the sugar 2 and start heating the mixture. Also add the cocoa 3

Immediately start mixing with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming 4. Continue stirring with the whisk and gently bring to a boil 5. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, continuing to stir; then add the coarsely chopped chocolate 6

Mix carefully until it melts, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Finally, add the alcohol 7, and mix it thoroughly as well. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve 8 to prevent any remaining lumps. Once completely cooled, distribute the chocolate liqueur into clean and completely dry bottles 9. Seal the bottles tightly, store them in the fridge, and let the liqueur mature for 20-30 days before consumption, so the alcohol flavor becomes softer and less intrusive. Shake the liqueur before consuming it.

Storage

The bottled chocolate liqueur can be stored in the refrigerator for about 90 days. It is recommended to wait at least 20 days before enjoying it, as it will initially taste very alcoholic. Always shake the liqueur before serving it.

We do not recommend storing it in the freezer.

Advice

Personalizing and making your chocolate liqueur truly unique is easy and fun: infuse cardamom, orange peels, or chili in the milk overnight before proceeding with the recipe!
