Hi everybody,
Just got my Thermomix last Tuesday and I have been trying all sorts of things from the (Dutch) Thermomix book, this forum and the German Thermomix forum. I made this liqueur today, it's a recipe from the German Thermomix site. Since I could not find it here, I thought I would post it. If you all have it somewhere, or you don't want me translating stuff from the German site (www.rezeptwelt.de), please let me know. I did tweak it a bit, since the recipe asked for 500 ml Wodka and I thought it would be a bit too strong.
Ingredients:
50 gr sugar (I used organic sugar, learned a lot from Chelsea already...thanks for your lovely blog, Chelsea!)
200 gr After Eight chocolate
300 gr cream
300 gr Wodka
Put sugar in bowl, 10 seconds on Turbo.
Add the chocolates and the cream. 4 minutes 50 degr., on 1.
Add wodka and stir 10 seconds on 3.
Put the liqueur in a (clean) bottle and put it in the fridge.
I am enjoying a wee glass as I write this. Cheers!! ;)

Hi Jacq! This sounds sooo yum ;) Thanks for the translation and I think I speak for others in saying we would welcome any recipes you would like to share with us ;D ;D
The After Eight Chocolate - would that be a dark chocolate? 70% cocoa for example?
Thanks :-*
-
Thanks Jacq - that sounds like something we must do. I concur with Faffa_70, all recipes welcome on here and you are right, we don't have anything like that already. I took the view that the name of the chololate indicated it was not for children so figure Faffa's assumption is correct. Looking forward to more recipes from your part of the world.

Hi Faffa and Judydawn,
Sorry, thought After Eight chocolates were à worldwide brand. It's à dark chocolate, filled with mint. They're quite lovely to eat, and quite nice in à liqueur as well.
I Will keep trying the recipes from the German site as well and check whether I can find them here. If not, I Will translate them.
-
Hi , thanks for this fab recipe. After Eight chocolates are a brand name for after dinner mints. They are dark chocolate. Yummmmmmm.
-
OH MY then this recipe just keeps getting better!! Now that you mention them as after dinner mints Chookie the childhood memories come flooding back ;D
-
Jacq, Made this today, it is really YUMMMMMMM. Cost about $13 to make 800g. But as you only need a little it is well worth making. Couldn't find the After Eight Mints, so used other dark choc. after dinner mints. Worked well. Will make again.
-
I made this last week and I really love it. In Holland liqueur is quite expensive, and this is cheaper to make, really yum and à non-existent flacons of liqueur here. :)
-
Small glass at night, better than sleeping pills. Says DH. ;D ;D ;D

50 gr sugar (I used organic sugar, learned a lot from Chelsea already...thanks for your lovely blog, Chelsea!)
Thanks so much Jacq. Your comments on my blog are lovely and very much appreciated too. :-* :-*

This looks fantastic. Has anyone made a homemade version of Bailey's? Thanks.

the orange ones arent around all the time and arent as common as the mint but seem to pop up now and then...they should be around though in the easter period..if you are going to paris though or a major city you should be able to find them...they also have lemon now and then...mmmm
-
After Eight mints are with the boxes of chocolates in the lolly isle, near the box of Roses etc, I see them all the time eg IGA
-
Catsia Jacq is in Holland and she was after the orange ones which arent in europe all the time just have the standard mint ones all the time and special occasions they bring out other flavours or in the summer sometimes....like in summer in europe there is alot of different choices available in all ranges of food products but in the winter or in between seasons there isnt alot around except your common products I guess because most people socialise alot in the short summer months so entertain and therefore buy more and the rest of the year tend to stay indoors :)
-
lol my mistake lo
-
I made this for Christmas and used Lindt mint infused chocolate as I couldn't find the thin after dinner mints, and it worked a treat, yummo!
-
Good to hear! It's such a good drink, really Christmassy! ;)
-
Managed to get a box at the local IGA, the orange ones, only one box there. Not the After Eight though.
Only 150gms in box so added 50 grams of dark choc, only 250 gms of vodka and 50 gms of triple sec.
It tasted wonderful.
Needed longer cooking though because the orange in the chocolate really didn't want to melt.
Tipped the mix into a large bottle and waited for the bowl to cool a little then added the triple sec and turboed it for a second or two to get all the orange out from around blades, then added that and the vodka to the bottle and gave it a really good shake then into fridge.
Will try this recipe with choc and triple sec instead of After Eights as really hard to find and will report back on taste.
-
Found some at the back of the fridge. still tasted great.
-
LOL, Chookie! Two pluses there - you could get to the back of the frig (not a given at my place) and you found your delicious science experiment. Big smiles all round and thank you.
-
Aldi do some wafer thin after dinner mints just like After Eights! Have a lok there.
