What do you get when Mozart and Elephants mingle? A composition of orgasmic proportions I like to call Amarula Truffle Cocktail. Two parts Amarula and one part Mozart Gold Chocolate Cream Liqueur, this creamy little mixture will leave you wanting, no... begging for more.
The Amarula Liqueur is made from the Marula fruit, which happens to be a popular snack among elephants. If you know me at all, then you already know how much I adore elephants. You need only look up at my blog logo to get a hint. I am convinced I roamed the lands as one of these gentle giants in a previous life.
If you search my blog for Amarula, you'll find I've used it in a number of recipes, including these Amarula Chai Latte Creamsicles. So YUMMM! (but I digress)
Paired with the Chocolate Cream Liqueur, this Amarula Truffle Cocktail reminded me of a truffle with its rich creamy layer revealing a chocolatey surprise after a few sips. And because I L.O.V.E. chocolate so much, I rimmed the glasses with chocolate vemicelli and added another layer of decadence with some of the truffles I made.
The idea for this cocktail was born from a marathon truffle making session one Saturday morning a few weeks ago that produced these little balls of euphoria. Ohhh, I still tingle at the thought. I will share the truffles and recipe in a future post.
For a few tingles of your own, toast the New Year with one, or a few, of my Amarula Truffle Cocktails.
Join me again tomorrow to *get your rocks off* (or on) with our last libation before the official countdown - Dessert Rocktinis!
