Is it possible to make homemade chocolate liqueur? Yes indeed! And it only takes 15 minutes. Chocolate liqueur can be consumed straight, as an after dinner drink rather than as aperitif. It can be used in mixed drinks and in desserts, especially in dessert sauces, cakes and truffles.
I love making edible gifts for birthdays. I put myself into the effort so the gift has my heart and my love. Success is always guaranteed. This liqueur is perfect for anyone for any occasion.

Zita's love for cookbooks and delicious food started at the age of 9. Whenever she went home from school her little brother and she would wait for mom to make dinner for them. Until the dinner was ready, she was turning the pages back and forth and was staring at photographs of amazingly looking dishes in mom's cookbooks to kill her appetite somehow. She couldn't have known then, that she would be collecting cookbooks after reaching adulthood and would still be, just like in her childhood, staring at awesome photos of delicious dishes. The only difference is that she does the cooking now. She loves traveling, going to the organic market and browsing foodblogs. Her vegetarian food and travelblog is Zizi's Adventures.
Can this be done without using cream?
Thanks
Does it need to be refrigerated?
