Instructions:

Prepare the Base
Begin by taking a large saucepan and adding the whole milk and heavy cream into it. Stir in the Nutella, ensuring it is evenly distributed within the mixture. Using a whisk, vigorously mix the ingredients together. This will help dissolve the Nutella, preventing any lumps from forming. Continue whisking until everything is well combined and smooth. -
Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and begin warming the mixture. Stir occasionally to avoid any ingredients sticking to the bottom of the pan. Heat the liquid gently until it becomes warm, but do not let it come to a boil. You’ll know it’s ready when the Nutella is fully dissolved, and the mixture has reached a silky texture. -
Cool the Mixture
Once the mixture is heated and the Nutella is completely dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature. During this cooling process, stir the mixture occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. -
Add the Alcohol
After the mixture has fully cooled, it’s time to add the pure alcohol. Pour in the alcohol and stir to combine everything thoroughly. The alcohol not only adds depth to the flavor but also acts as a preservative, allowing the liqueur to last for several weeks when stored properly. -
Store and Serve
Transfer the finished Nutella liqueur into a clean bottle or jar with an airtight lid. Store the liqueur in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled over ice or use it to enhance your favorite coffee, dessert, or cocktail recipes.
Enjoy your homemade Nutella liqueur, a deliciously creamy and indulgent treat that’s perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor pairs beautifully with the smooth creaminess and the warmth of alcohol, making it a unique and delightful beverage for all to enjoy.
Tips:
- If you prefer a sweeter liqueur, feel free to adjust the amount of Nutella to taste.
- Use a high-quality neutral spirit to ensure the best flavor profile for your liqueur.
- This liqueur also makes a fantastic gift when packaged in decorative bottles or jars.
Enjoy this special Nutella liqueur, a perfect way to treat yourself and your loved ones to something truly extraordinary!
