Ingredients
- 57 g couverture white chocolate 2 oz in weight
- ¼ cup milk Full fat. To make this extra creamy, use evaporated milk instead.
- ½ cup condensed milk
- 2 tsp Madagascar bourbon vanilla
- 1 cup good quality vodka
Instructions
- Place the white chocolate, condensed milk, milk and vanilla in a saucepan. Heat gently while stirring to melt the chocolate. Do not let it boil.
- As soon as the chocolate is completely melted, remove the white chocolate mix from the heat. Let it completely cool down to room temperature.
- Mix with the vodka and place it in a sealable container. Let the liqueur sit for 12 - 24 hours (preferably in the refrigerator) before using. Place the liqueur in a bottle OR (optional) strain the liqueur through a double cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a bottle.
- Drink neat, or as a mixer in cocktails. Enjoy!

Notes
- I've had a couple of readers mention that the chocolate solidified in the fridge. With the addition of condensed milk in liqueur, this should no longer happen. I have tested and retested the recipe to make sure this works with any kind of white chocolate.
- If your chocolate milk mixture curdles in the vodka, that's usually caused by low quality vodka, OR old milk / cream. I've had this happen when I use cheap vodka.
- I have made this with and recommend the following vodka brands; smirnoff vodka, grey goose vodka, and absolut vodka.
