Ingredients
- 150 ml Single cream
- 8 After Eight mints or 70g of similar mint thin chocolate
- 30 g Dark chocolate 70% cocoa solids
- 45 ml Condensed milk sweetened
- 45 ml Whole Milk full fat
- 100 ml Vodka
Instructions
- Heat ⅔ of the cream to hot but do not let it boil. Chop the chocolate and slide it into the pan along with the After Eight mints.
- After 1 minute stir the contents of the pan until the chocolate has fully melted.
- Pour in the rest of the cream, the milk and the condensed milk. Then stir in the vodka.
- Strain your chocolate mint drink through a sieve then decant it into a bottle and store it in the fridge.
Notes
- The cream will split if it comes into contact with anything acidic such as citrus juice or vinegar. For this reason, make sure that all of your equipment and the bottle that the liqueur will be stored in are scrupulously clean.
- Strain your liqueur through a nut bag or a fine-meshed sieve to catch any stray chunks of confectionary that refuse to melt completely.
- You'll need to give your peppermint cream liqueur a robust shake before serving. Some of the chocolate will settle as the bottle is stored in the fridge, so agitate it for 30-45 seconds to reblend it all.
