Equipment
- Glass Quart/Liter Bottles I used a 33 oz/ 1 liter bottle but you can fill smaller glass bottles with lids to gift away.
- labels to write name and best before date
Ingredients
- 14 ounces White Baking Chocolate *see Notes
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar optional
- ½ cup Milk
- ⅛ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract or ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
- 1 cup Rum
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 white chocolate into the bowl and let it melt with the heavy cream, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla added.14 ounces White Baking Chocolate, 1 cup Heavy Cream, ½ cup Powdered Sugar, ½ cup Milk, ⅛ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Mix and whisk until the chocolate has melted completely.
- Take it from the heat and let it cool a bit before you pour the rum into the white chocolate liqueur.1 cup Rum
- 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 some days because it doesn't include eggs, and it does use sterilized milk, so follow the best-before 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
- 14 ounces white chocolate = 400 grams or 3 ½ x 4 oz white chocolate baking bars.
- 33 fl oz = 1 quart/1 liter glass bottle
- Use premium quality white chocolate bar slabs. Avoid chocolate chips, they don't melt that well and form chunks.
- Sugar is optional in the sense that it depends on how sweet your white chocolate is. Premium white chocolate is not that sweet. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- You can choose to add 1 cup (200 ml) or 1 ¼ cups (250 milliliters) of white rum. Test taste to see how you prefer it.
- Shake bottle before each use.
