Critical Success Points

  • Use sweetened condensed milk – it provides essential sweetness and body; evaporated milk will make the liqueur too thin.
  • Sift cocoa powder to avoid gritty texture.
  • Blend thoroughly to achieve a smooth, emulsified cream.

Safety Warnings

  • Alcohol is flammable – keep away from open flames.
  • Do not serve to anyone under the legal drinking age.
  • If the liqueur develops an off smell or mold, discard it.
