Perfect for special occasions or a cozy night in, this homemade liqueur is both simple to prepare and utterly irresistible. Whether you're enjoying it in cocktails, over ice, or as a delicious addition to your coffee, Nutella liqueur is a delightful treat for anyone who loves chocolate and hazelnut flavors. Read on to learn how you can easily craft this creamy liqueur right in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
1 cup Nutella (or other hazelnut chocolate spread)
1 ½ cups whole milk (for a creamier texture, use heavy cream)
1 cup vodka (choose a high-quality vodka for the best results)
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cocoa powder (optional, for extra chocolate flavor)
Directions:
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the mixture is warm (not boiling), add the Nutella to the pan and whisk until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract (if using), blending until well incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour the mixture into a blender and add the vodka. Blend on low for a few seconds until everything is fully combined.
Transfer the Nutella liqueur into a glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator.
Shake the bottle gently before serving to ensure a smooth consistency.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Nutella liqueur can be enjoyed on its own, poured over ice, or used in cocktails.
For a decadent dessert cocktail, try mixing it with coffee liqueur and cream.
Store the liqueur in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
Shake the bottle before use, as the mixture may separate slightly over time.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
