Home-made White Chocolate Liqueur

October 2, 2014 By Manu 25 Comments

Home-made White Chocolate Liqueur

Italians like to make things at home.  This includes tomato sauces and preserves, pasta, sausages and smallgoods and, of course, liqueurs.  Home-made things are better on so many levels.  For one thing, you know exactly what went into your food and then everyone knows that food prepared with love always tastes better.  I have always been intrigued by home-made liqueurs and I have tasted quite a few when living in Italy.  Since moving to Australia though I have had a hard time coming across the alcohol needed to make liqueurs, but now that I found it, I am happy to start sharing these amazing recipes.  Home-made liqueurs make the perfect Christmas gift: they are much easier to make than what you could imagine, but some do require a little resting time before you can truly enjoy them, so I thought I should start sharing a few recipes early on! Today we’ll start with a delicious home-made White Chocolate Liqueur.  Cheers!

Home-made White Chocolate Liqueur

How to make a deliciously creamy White Chocolate Liqueur at home!

Course Drinks
Cuisine International
Prep Time 12 hours
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 12 hours 10 minutes
Author Manuela Zangara

Ingredients

  • 250 gms – 9 oz. white chocolate chopped
  • 500 ml – 2 cups milk
  • 500 ml – 2 cups cream
  • 300 ml – 1 ¼ cup condensed milk
  • 150 ml – ¾ cup alcohol 95% or 151 proof grain alcohol or the strongest available

Instructions

  1. Put the white chocolate and milk in a saucepan and heat on the fire until the chocolate has melted.
  2. Add the cream and condensed milk and cook on a low flame for 8 minutes.
  3. Let the mixture cool down and then chill very well in the fridge.
  4. Add the alcohol and mix well. Filter it through a sieve and bottle it.
  5. Keep it in the fridge for a couple of days and shake well before serving.

Recipe Notes

This liqueur should keep in the fridge for a couple of months, though mine never lasts that long.

      Hi Naz
      I buy it at Dan Murphy’s (https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_905095/polmos-spirytus-rectified-spirit-95-500ml)… you may need to ask in the shop, as they do not keep it out with the rest of the stuff. It’s a bit expensive, but 500 ml goes a long way! Hope it helps! 🙂

    Just wondering what alternative you would use for the alcohol as a lot of liquor stores will not sell anymore…

      Hi Bianca! I know… it’s such a pain. I still find it online, but not at the stores… You can use Vodka, though the taste won’t be 100% the same (still tasty though!). You need more Vodka, so for 1 lt (4 cups) of alcohol 95% or 151 proof grain alcohol, you need 1 1/4 lt (5 cups) of Vodka. 🙂

    Hi, I have a question on your white chocolate liquor recipe. What kind of alcohol did you use?

    Reply
    • Manu says

      November 24, 2015 at 10:45 am

      Hi Matt, I have used alcohol 95%. You can also use vodka, but you need more of it (for this recipe it would be about 190-200 ml), as it is less strong.

      Hi Debra

      I use fresh cream, the one the you can whip to make whipped cream. It’s called pure cream in Australia. 🙂

    Hi Manu,

    I really want to make this recipe, but have a few questions;
    I have read that when you can only use less alcohol (mine is 28%, but no flavour like vodka) you need more.
    Do you use less milk or cream when that happends? otherwise it would probably be not as thick?

    Reply

      Hi Julia! I have never tried it with a 28% alcohol. When you make it with Vodka (about 40%) it does get a little less thick. If you make it with a 28% then it will definitely be more liquid. Try and adjust the milk and cream proportions. You may have to experiment… Make a small batch at first and see what proportions work best for your taste. Let me know if I can help!

        Ha Manu,

        Found the 96%! just bottled it, it taste amazing!
        Thank you!
        One thing; in the instructions it said “Add the cream and condensed milk and cook on a low flame for 8 minutes”. it is not clear if cook means boiling or just heating on low flame?
