White Chocolate Peppermint Bark Martini Homemade White Chocolate Liqueur

A couple months ago, I collier femme nouveau ordered a pound of collier femme fin argent white chocolate to play around with. cover iphone 8 plus A few days later, two kilograms showed up on my doorstep (over four pounds).

A happy accident I say so! But it left me with a bit of a dilemma so I asked you guys for advice. What should I do with so much white chocolate

Once the idea was in my head, I couldn get it out. Chocolate bark is delicious, easy to make, and perfect amader hommes squelette brin corde bracelet perle tressee femmes bijoux pulseras luxe fait main bracelets ab1218 for holiday gifting the only problem is, it hard to write a recipe for it collier femme promod it basically melt, pour, top with crushed candy, and eat. custodia iphone cover So now I had collier femme avec cristal a collier femme or prenom new dilemma. cover iphone 6 6s collier femme gros maillons How to make it more interesting

My answer came when I started thinking about the very person who had suggested the peppermint bark in the double collier femme first place. My friendCarey does some incredible things with drink making. She comes up with some of the most creative beverages collier femme flocon I seen, like this SmokyCardamom Coconut Cuba Libre, or this Roasted Raspberry and Grapefruit Cocktail. She also basically invented a whole new way of making flavor infused simple syrups,which pretty much puts her at the top collier femme argent ceramique of the awesome scale in my book.

You may have noticed a few drink recipes showing up around here as well, like this Pomegranate Ginger Fizz, or my Homemade Eggnog. This is in no small part due to inspiration from Carey.

So, I set off trying to turn peppermint bark candy into a cocktail. There are actually three recipes in this post collier femme maille serpent homemade white chocolate liqueur, peppermint bark martini, and double chocolate peppermint bark candy. If you like me, and you still pressed for last minute gifts, the latter makes a perfect stocking stuffer. Or, if you feeling really generous, you could give a bottle of white chocolate liqueur but let not get too carried away.

Carey, this one for you. If I could send alcohol in the mail, you can bet you be getting one boucles doreilles dormeuses pierre bleue of these for Christmas. Cheers!

I not really certain you can call this a real martini, seeing as it doesn have much vodka in it but it looks insanely decadent served up in a martini glass, so I sticking to my title.

The first step in making this cocktail is having some good quality white chocolate liqueur. Now, you can always use the store bought, name brand stuff no judgement here, that stuff is tasty! but if you know me, I all about doing things boucles doreilles dormeuses argent from scratch, so I started looking for recipes. iphone 6 6s plus hoesje And do you know what I found Not a single one. There were plenty of recipes for homemade dark chocolate liqueur (using cocoa powder), but none for white chocolate.

Well, well! collier femme diamant pas cher It looks like I had clio blue collier femme my collier femme gas work cut out for me!

I not sure what goes into making the stuff on the shelf at the liqueur store, but I suspect it isn actually white chocolate. My first collier femme cordon cuir attempt at a homemade version told me why too much cocoa butter, and you end up with a solid block of boozy chocolate. (Not a bad thing, mind you, but not what you want to make a cocktail with.)

In my next batch, I reduced the chocolate, and the results were rich and creamy. I tried to keep the level of sweetness close to store bought, but this homemade version is still not quite as sweet. iphone x xs hoesje boucles doreilles dormeuses or enfants I prefer boucles doreilles creoles plumes it that way, but if you want it sweeter you can increase the sugar by another tablespoon or so.

The best part of making things like this from scratch is being able to control the amount of sugar and booze. If you want a sweeter drink after the fact, just collier femme six dissolve some sugar in warm milk and add it to taste. As for the booze, start slow and add more as needed.

Homemade White Chocolate Liqueur

Be sure to use real white chocolate here steer clear of anything that says chips, or morsels, collier femme perle noire and avoids using the word as these products are typically made out of sugar, palm oil, and artificial flavorings. If it doesn say it chocolate, it probably isn I a big fan of Guittard, Valrhona, or Michel Cluizel white chocolate, but of the cheaper, more available brands, Ghirardelli is one of the few that still uses real cocoa butter, and it will make a fine chocolate liqueur!

Feel free to use more or less alcohol, boucles doreilles creoles noires to taste. By my rough calculations, 7oz. of rum or vodka (at 40% alcohol by volume) will make your final liqueur approximately 14.5% alcohol by volume, or very close to the name brand white chocolate liqueur, which is 15%. If you aren sure how much to use, start slow and add more as needed.

1.Roughly chop the chocolate and place it in a large heat proof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the surface of the water. Heat until the chocolate has melted, stirring frequently.

2.Add the sugar and 1/4 cup of the cream. Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the rest of the cream and the milk, and stir until smooth.

3.Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and rum or vodka. Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.

4.Skim away any of the fat from the chocolate and cream that has risen to the top, and collier femme allah pour into a (very clean) bottle or jar. Keep refrigerated.

I haven experimented with how long this liqueur will keep, but just to be safe I would try to use it up before theexpirationdate of the milk or cream. I suspect it will last longer than that because ofthe alcohol, but I can say for sure it goes so fast, anyway!

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

To make your own vanilla vodka, steep a couple of vanilla beans in 8 oz. of vodka for 5 10 days. Or, replace the vanilla vodka in this recipe with plain vodka, plus a 1/4 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract.

1.Melt the white chocolate in a shallow dish, and dip the rim of the glass into it. Shake off any excess, then dip into the crushed peppermint candies. Place glass in the freezer for 5 10 minutes to set.

2.Shake liqueurs with ice, then pour into chilled glass. Add milk or cream, to taste.

3.Top with fresh whipped cream and more crushed peppermint candies, for garnish.

Warning: do not attempt to bite rim of glass.

1.Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
