Homemade Chocolate Liqueur | FAST EASY RECIPE

If you want to treat your valentine to homemade chocolate liqueur, but don't want to wait weeks for it to be ready, this fast easy recipe is for you!

There are a lot of ways to accomplish homemade chocolate liqueur, and all result in a delicious decadent treat. The chocolate liqueur we are making today is a copy cat of the beloved, and now discontinued GODIVA chocolate liqueur. I was devastated to learn that Godiva stopped making this chocolate liqueur, so a homemade version is the only way!

Note that what we are making today is NOT Creme De Cacao. The difference between chocolate liqueur and Creme de Cacao is sort of a grey area. Creme de Cacao is not a regulated term, which means there are no hard and fast rules around the process of making it, and the resulting liquid. In general, Creme de Cacao is a distilled spirit that is infused with cacao nibs, filtered, and then has a sweetener added. Making liqueurs this way requires time and patience. The recipe we are making today is ready to drink as soon as you make it, and does not require any resting time. It will improve with a day of rest, but is ready to drink (and delicious) immediately.

To make MILK CHOCOLATE LIQUEUR

Separation is normal! Simply give this a good shake before pouring. Cheers!
