White chocolate and vanilla bean vodka

September 19, 2015 (Last Updated: January 11, 2019)

Justin Bonello of BBC Food’s Cooked series introduced me to the concept of heating a vodka bottle on the braai. I also use dark chocolate and orange zest, cinnamon, chilli or cardamom.

White chocolate and vanilla bean vodka

Serves: 6 – 8

Ingredients

  • 560ml vodka
  • 200g white chocolate, broken into squares
  • 2 vanilla pods, scraped, or 5ml vanilla paste

Instructions

1

Put the chocolate and vanilla in the vodka bottle, and heat the bottle in a pot of boiling water on the stove or on the braai. Shake the bottle sporadically to encourage melting.
