Easy Chocolate Martini recipe
I absolutely love chocolate! I’ve whipped up all sorts of delicious desserts with chocolate over the years, from Chocolate Banoffee Pie, Chocolate Pots de Crème to Chocolate Truffles or Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies.
But recently, I had this craving for something a bit different, like chocolate and cocktails. I did a little research, and guess what I stumbled upon? The Chocolate Martini! It sounded like a dream come true, so I decided to make it my new culinary project at home.
I’m pretty excited about this whole venture. I mean, who can resist the idea of a chocolate martini, right? I can’t wait to indulge in the decadence. If you’re a chocolate lover like me, you’ve got to give this one a shot! Here is how to make Chocolate Martini:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
- 1 ½ ounces Crème de Cacao
- 1 ounce Vodka e.g. Bailey’s
- 1 ounce Heavy Cream
- Ice
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
- Chocolate syrup, optional, for rimming the glass
- Maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Place your glass it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice while you prepare the cocktail.
- If desired, you can rim the chilled martini glass with chocolate syrup. Pour a small amount of chocolate syrup onto a plate and gently dip the rim of the glass into the syrup, rotating it to coat the edge. Set aside.
