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
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.
