Tia Maria Homemade Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Combine the sugar and water, stirring to dissolve. Add instant coffee and bring mixture to a boil. Boil steadily for 3 minutes, stirring often.
• 2. Add vanilla, remove from heat and cool for 1 hour. Add the Vodka, stirring well to combine.
• 3. Pour into a glass jar, cover tightly and refrigerate. It's best to leave this for a couple of days so the flavors blend. Shake well before first use. White Russian 1 ounce vodka 1/2 - 1 oz. Kahlua (depending how sweet you like it) Milk Ice Place a couple of ice cubes in a tall glass. Add vodka, then Kahlua then milk. Stir and serve.

Steps:

• Bring the cream to the boil in a small pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until it has melted. Stir in the liqueur and pour into a bowl. Cool, then chill until firm, about 4 hrs, or overnight.
• Sprinkle a sheet of greaseproof paper with icing sugar and another with cocoa powder. Take a teaspoon and scoop nuggets of truffle mix out of the bowl and onto either the paper with cocoa powder or icing sugar. Use two teaspoons to coat the nuggets then transfer them to paper sweet cases. Pack into paper sweet cases in boxes and chill. Store for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Put the chocolate into a bowl. Mix the cream with the Tia Maria, reserve 2 tbsp, then tip the rest into a saucepan and bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and tip straight over the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate melts. Divide between 2 small glasses and allow to cool slightly. Whip the remaining cream until slightly thickened, then spoon over the cooled chocolate mix. Chill for at least 1 hr to set. While you're waiting, cut a heart shape from a piece of thick card.
• When ready to serve, set the card over the glass and sift over a dusting of cocoa powder. Lift off carefully and do the same with the other glass.
