Marzipan chocolate liqueur

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 400 g marzipan paste, finely diced

• 250 ml Amaretto
• 75 ml liqueur (Licor 43 31% alcohol content)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

makes approx. 0.9 liters

Dice the marzipan into small cubes and place in a saucepan. Add the milk and heat while stirring until the marzipan dissolves (the milk is usually already quite warm). I usually help it along with a hand blender. Let it cool slightly, then place a large sieve over a large bowl or similar and line it with a tea towel. Pour the mixture into the sieve and sift while stirring. At the end, I wring out the towel to get as much of the milk out as possible. I measure the volume of the marzipan milk with a measuring jug and usually get around 325 ml. Let it cool and stir in the cream. Add the cocoa powder and dissolve it with the help of a hand blender. Finally, stir in the Amaretto and Licor 43, mix briefly again, and store in clean glass bottles in the refrigerator.
