Willie's Cacao - Sloe Chocolate Vodka
This makes an unusual and stunning after-dinner liqueur, or you could offer it with a biscuit or slice of cake as a dessert.You can serve it cold, but I prefer it gently warmed through.Just stand the bottle in a bowl of hot water for about 5 minutes before pouring into small glasses.
Servings: 750 ml
Ingredients
- 500 ml vodka
- 250 g freshly picked sloes (or damsons if you prefer)
- 100 g granulated sugar (more if you prefer a sweeter drink)
- 200 g Willie’s Cacao Sambirano Madagascar 100% Cocoa Mass Roughly Chopped
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a stainless steel saucepan. Heat very gently over a really low heat until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is hot, taking care not to let it boil.
- Carefully pour or spoon into a sterilized, wide necked glass jar, seal and leave in a cool place for 2 months.
- Strain, then pour through a sterilized funnel into a sterilized bottle and seal.
- Always shake the bottle before pouring, as the chocolate tends to settle on the bottom over time.
- Alternatively take 600ml of sloe vodka that you made earlier and simply melt 200g of chocolate into it over a low heat.
