This WHITE CRÈME DE CACAO recipe is similar to our traditional CRÈME DE CACAO recipe ([ Ссылка ]), but uses cocoa butter instead of cocoa nibs. It differs from store bought versions because it has a buttery white color instead of clear. This recipe can also be made as a low carb keto version that can be used guilt-free in delicious classic cocktails such as a Brandy Alexander ([ Ссылка ]), Tequila Alejandro ([ Ссылка ]), or White Russian. Substitute for Crème de Cacao when you prefer a cream color to your cocoa infused cocktail instead of a brown color.
INGREDIENTS
• 450 g (3 cups) cocoa butter
• 3 vanilla beans, or 45 ml (1.5 oz) vanilla extract
• 750 ml (3 cups) rum or vodka (100 proof is preferred)
• 240 ml (1 cup) simple syrup ([ Ссылка ]) or keto simple syrup ([ Ссылка ])*
*For a sweeter liqueur, increase the keto simple syrup to 360 ml (1.5 cups)
DIRECTIONS
1. Add chopped cocoa butter to a resealable jar. A finer chop will lead to a more intense cocoa butter taste.
2. Scrape vanilla beans and add to jar (or add vanilla extract). Note: If you use vanilla extract instead of vanilla beans, your liqueur will have darker, buttery color.
3. Add rum or vodka. Stir and seal jar.
4. Store jar in a cool, dark location such as a cupboard for two weeks. Shake daily.
5. After two weeks, pour and strain liquid into bowl and remove cocoa butter. Then strain again into a pitcher. Use cheesecloth or a coffee filter when straining to reduce sediment.
6. Add simple syrup or keto simple syrup. Stir to blend.
7. Finally, pour and strain into a swing top glass bottle or any resealable container.
8. Our recipe strains three times, which will leave a delicious cocoa butter residue that floats to the top of the bottle. Simply shake the bottle before serving. If you want to minimize the amount of cocoa butter in your final product, you have the option of straining the mixture several more times. However, we do not recommend this because you may be sacrificing taste the more you filter the liqueur.
