• 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.

    2

    Serve slightly warm in tot glasses with the chilli and lemongrass chocolate cake.
