Ingredients
- 12.3 oz dark chocolate
- 3.2 cups water
- 1.1 lbs sugar
- 1.8 oz unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2.1 cups pure alcohol
How to prepare the Chocolate Liqueur
Start preparing the chocolate liqueur by chopping the dark chocolate and melting it in a bain-marie or microwave, then set it aside.
Pour the sugar and water into a pot, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and add the unsweetened cocoa powder that you have previously sifted, or you can sift it directly into the pot. Add the melted dark chocolate and mix well so that the cocoa dissolves, and let it cool completely.
When the syrup is completely cold, add the pure alcohol and use an immersion blender to thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients to obtain a cream.
Pour into bottles and let rest in the refrigerator for at least one week.
How to store the Chocolate Liqueur
Keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to enjoy it cold. It can be stored in the pantry for several months.
