Spekulatius Likör
Spekulatius Likör is a creamy, spiced liqueur blending heavy cream, spekulatius spice mix, powdered sugar, hazelnut cocoa spread, and grain brandy or vodka. The result is a smooth, sweet drink with aromatic warm spices and chocolate-hazelnut undertones. The liqueur is best served chilled and makes a rich after-dinner drink or dessert accompaniment.
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.
