    The white chocolate liqueur, besides homemade Baileys, Egg Liqueur and Eggnog, was one of the creamy and deliciously sweet liqueurs that we would prepare from scratch in culinary school.

    The liqueur is completely gluten-free (check your chocolate label) and eggless.

    You just need one pot to prepare this simple chocolate cream recipe.

    Keep a clean sterilized bottle with a stopper ready, so to fill it up right after you finished preparing your chocolate liqueur.

    You will take about 10 minutes altogether to prep and cook the white chocolate liqueur.

    πŸ“• What is white chocolate cream liqueur?

    Chocolate liqueurs have been a thing for ages and are not a new invention.

    They come in various forms.

    The white chocolate cream liqueur is quite common, with chocolate cream and dark chocolate cream ruling the market.

    The creamy chocolate-based liqueur is mainly made of cream, chocolate, and alcohol.

    The few commercial brands that prepare white chocolate cream, besides the ordinary brown chocolate liqueur,  use beet sugar alcohol distillations.

    πŸ”ͺ How to make it?

    Here is an overview of how to make this chocolate liqueur from scratch. The full recipe is located in the recipe card further below.

    Step 1

    Melt chocolate in a water bath. Add sugar and whipped cream and melt it all.

    🍫 Ingredients

    For my gorgeous, creamy sweet and tipsy making holiday white chocolate liqueur recipe, you will need a few common ingredients.

    White Chocolate

    For the white chocolate use quality chocolate bars and avoid white chocolate chips (those are not designed to keep their shape and don't melt well).

    Those are usually ivory in color and not white, and besides that, quality chocolate is not that sweet but tastes rather milky.

    You will also notice that quality white chocolate will melt without clumping.

    Check to see what to look out for when buying white chocolate.

    Easy White Chocolate Liqueur Recipe

    Cream

    Use heavy whipping cream in this chocolate liqueur recipe.

    It will add creaminess to the liqueur and help in binding the chocolate with the alcohol.

    Vanilla

    If you can use real vanilla bean paste because it will make your liqueur all the more special.

    Recently I have not been able to get decent vanilla beans or paste, so I ended up using what I had at home, simply a good quality vanilla essence

    The vanilla paste adds little dots to the creamy alcohol, which is total eye candy!

    Milk

    The creamy liqueur is always liquid when hot but will get all the thicker when it cools down, so you need to add milk or your liqueur will be stuck in your bottle.

    Easy White Chocolate Liqueur Recipe

    Sugar

    I add powdered sugar because it mixes in well and because I use proper premium quality white chocolate which isn't that sweet.

    If you think your white chocolate is quite sweet, reduce or skip adding sugar all together.

    You can first taste test your melting white chocolate liqueur and adjust the sugar amount that way.

    White Rum

    I choose white rum above any other clear alcohol to prepare my white chocolate liqueur recipe.

    Try to get one of these precious and priceless Caribbean white rums OR get Cachaca if you can.

    You can thank me later.

    Of course, if you prefer another alcohol, then you can try to use vodka or even Amaretto or Malibu.

    If you use amaretto or Malibu, don't add sugar to the recipe because they are quite sweet by themselves.

    πŸ₯£ Uses

    We love to simply pour some white chocolate liqueur into a glass and enjoy it that way.

    However, you can use your white chocolate cream liqueur to build cocktails and drinks.

    • White Russian
    • White Martini
    • Pina Colada (I just add some of the white chocolate liqueur to my virgin pina colada to make it a naughty colada)
    • Naughty Angel

    You can also add some of the homemade chocolate liqueur to a hot chocolate or a latte macchiato.

    In fact, you can spike most alcoholic beverages with the white chocolate liqueur, as long as these beverages don't contain lemon and other citrus fruits.

    Another idea is to use a dash of creamy homemade cream liqueur to prepare DIY molded chocolate candy.

    It would make a great filling and turn chocolates boozy!

    πŸ›’ Buying

    • Mozart (Austrian)
    • Godiva (Belgian/Turkish with HQ in the US)
    • Aldi's discounter white chocolate cream liqueur version (German)

    I suspect highly that there are smaller regional brands in central Europe, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Belgium that prepare white chocolate liqueur.

    If I forgot to mention one, please let us know in a comment further below.

    Recipe by: Helene Dsouza

    Ingredients

    • 14.1 ounces White Baking Chocolate *see Notes
    • 1 cup Heavy Cream
    • Β½ cup Powdered Sugar optional
    • Β½ cup Milk
    • β…› Teaspoon Vanilla Extract or Β½ Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
    • 1 cup Light Rum
    US - Metric

    Instructions

    • Prepare a water bath (aka Bain Marie) by keeping a pot with some water on the fire and placing a mixing bowl over it (stainless steel or borosilicate glass). That way we can melt the chocolate without burning it!
    • Place the chocolate into the bowl and let it melt with the whipping cream powdered sugar, milk and vanilla added.
    • Mix and whisk until the chocolate has molten completely.
    • Take from the heat and let cool a bit before you pour the rum into the white chocolate liqueur.
    • Mix everything well.
    • Pour white creamy chocolate rum into a clean sterilized bottle and close with a stopper.
    • Store in the fridge until further use.
    • The chocolate liqueur can be kept for weeks because it doesn't include eggs and it does use sterilized milk, so follow the best before the date of the milk and the whipped cream.
    • Keep in mind that after cooking the liqueur is hot and very liquid. Once it cools down it gets super creamy. If you want a liquid version of the white chocolate cream, double the milk quantity in the recipe.

    Notes

    1. Use premium quality white chocolate bar slabs. Avoid chocolate chips, they don't melt that well and form pieces.
    2. Sugar is optional in the sense that it depends on how sweet your white chocolate is. Premium white chocolate is not that sweet so you will need the 100 grams. Taste and adjust to your liking.
    3. You can choose to add 1 cup ( 200 ml) or 1 ΒΌ cup (250 milliliters) white rum. Test taste to see how you prefer it.
    4. Shake bottle before each use.

      How do you make chocolate liqueur? Can you just substitute white chocolate for dark chocolate?

        Yes, you can substitute the white chocolate with dark chocolate. I recommend unsweetened baking chocolate.

        With refrigeration a month, without at least 10 days as long as it's not in a humid and hot climate.

        Yes, it turns solid in the cold. So, keep it out and it will get liquid again. You can add a little bit of milk to it and shake the bottle, that way it will turn out more liquid again. This is useful when the liqueur has been almost finished in the bottle, so the heavier ingredients are stuck to the bottom. Some milk and a good shake and you are good to go.
