Ingredients

102 g Mars bars 2 x 51g bars (standard size)
150 ml Single cream 18% fat
2 tablespoons Whole milk full-fat
1 tablespoons Condensed milk sweetened
5 ml Caramel syrup
100 ml Vodka

Instructions

Heat 100ml of the cream to hot but not boiling. Chop the chocolate bars and add them to the pan.
102 g Mars bars
Let the contents of the pan sit for a minute and then whisk until the chocolate has melted. If pieces of the Mars bar refuse to melt return the pan to the heat on the lowest heat setting and stir continuously. Do not let the mixture boil.
150 ml Single cream
Mix in the condensed milk, the rest of the cream, the caramel syrup and the milk.
2 tablespoons Whole milk, 1 tablespoons Condensed milk
Add the vodka. Stir well.
100 ml Vodka
Strain your liqueur through a fine-meshed sieve (or a nut bag) and decant the chocolate cream liqueur into a bottle.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Notes

The cream will split if it comes into contact with even just a trace of something 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.
To ensure that your drink is smooth strain it through a nut bag or a fine-meshed sieve to catch any stray chunks of nougat that refuse to melt completely.
As the drink sits in the fridge some of the chocolate will settle at the bottom of the bottle. Give it a firm shake for around 30 seconds before pouring.
