Spekulatius Likör
Description
This liqueur starts by lightly whisking heavy cream to soften it without creating froth, preserving a smooth texture. Separately, spekulatius spice—a blend of warm spices traditionally used in German cookies—is combined with powdered sugar and hazelnut cocoa spread (like Nutella) along with a grain brandy or a neutral spirit such as vodka.
After mixing the cream into the spice and spirit mixture, it is stirred until fully incorporated, yielding a creamy, flavorful liqueur with a balance of sweetness, spice, and nutty chocolate flavor. The texture should be smooth and pourable.
Spekulatius Likör can be stored in sterilized glasses in the refrigerator and is recommended to be kept chilled due to the cream content. Whisking the cream more will increase thickness but should be moderate to avoid froth. Proper refrigeration helps preserve taste and texture for several weeks.
Ingredients
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 2 teaspoon spekulatius spice
- 4 tablespoon powdered sugar (approximately 50 g)
- 150 ml grain brandy or vodka, aka Weizenkorn Schnaps (German spirit
- 3 tablespoon Nutella (or any hazelnut cocoa spread)
Instructions
- In a bowl, lightly whisk the heavy cream without allowing it to get frothy, then set it aside. (see notes).
- In a separate bowl and using a whisk, combine the Spekulatius spice, powdered sugar, Nutella, and the grain spirit (Weizenkorn Schnaps) or vodka.
- Add the cream and then mix everything until well incorporated.
- Transfer the Spekulatiuslikör to sterilized glasses or jars and serve or store in the fridge for later.
Notes
- Whisk the heavy cream lightly to maintain smoothness without froth; more whisking increases thickness.
- Store the liqueur in sterilized containers to maintain quality and hygiene.
- Because it contains cream, keep leftovers refrigerated immediately to prevent spoilage.
- Properly refrigerated Spekulatius Likör can be kept for 4 to 6 weeks.
