🍫 Ingredients

For my gorgeous, creamy sweet and tipsy making holiday white chocolate liqueur recipe, you will need a few common ingredients.

White Chocolate

For the white chocolate use quality chocolate bars and avoid white chocolate chips (those are not designed to keep their shape and don't melt well).

Those are usuallyivory in color and not white, and besides that, quality chocolate is not that sweet but tastes rather milky.

You will also notice that quality white chocolate will melt without clumping.

Cream

Use heavy whipping cream in this chocolate liqueur recipe.

It will add creaminessto the liqueur and help in binding the chocolate with the alcohol.

Vanilla

If you can use real vanilla bean paste because it will make your liqueur all the more special.

Recently I have not been able to get decent vanilla beans or paste, so I ended up using what I had at home, simply a good quality vanilla essence

The vanilla paste adds little dots to the creamy alcohol, which is total eye candy!

Milk

The creamy liqueur is always liquidwhen hot but will get all the thicker when it cools down, so you need to add milk or your liqueur will be stuck in your bottle.

Sugar

I add powdered sugar because it mixes in well and because I use proper premium quality white chocolate which isn't that sweet.

If you think your white chocolate is quite sweet, reduce or skip adding sugar all together.

You can first taste test your melting white chocolate liqueur and adjust the sugar amount that way.

White Rum

I choose white rum above any other clear alcohol to prepare mywhite chocolate liqueur recipe.

Try to get one of these precious and priceless Caribbean white rums OR get Cachaca if you can.

You can thank me later.

Of course, if you prefer another alcohol, then you can try to use vodka oreven Amaretto or Malibu.

If you use amaretto or Malibu, don't add sugar to the recipe because they are quite sweet by themselves.

🥣 Uses

We love to simply pour some white chocolate liqueur into a glass and enjoy it that way.

However, you can use your white chocolate cream liqueur to build co*cktails and drinks.

• White Russian
• White Martini
• Pina Colada (I just add some of the white chocolate liqueur to my virgin pina colada to make it a naughty colada)
• Naughty Angel

You can also add some of the homemade chocolate liqueur to a hot chocolate or a latte macchiato.

In fact, you can spike most alcoholic beverages with the white chocolate liqueur, as long as these beverages don't contain lemon and other citrus fruits.

Another idea is to use a dash of creamy homemade cream liqueur to prepare DIY molded chocolate candy.

It would make a great filling and turn chocolates boozy!
