Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 bars (3.2 ounces each) Chocolove 70% dark chocolate
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1/2 ounce creme de cacao
  • 1 1/2 ounces dark chocolate fudge sauce, plus extra for drizzling inside the glass
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate malt powder
  • 2 ounces half and half
  • dash of chocolate bitters
  • crushed chocolate malted milk balls for rimming the glass

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate fudge sauce by combining heavy cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, salt, and half of the dark chocolate in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the chocolate melts. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Let the sauce cool completely before using it for the cocktails.
  2. Rim the glass by coating the edges with dark chocolate fudge sauce and then dipping it into the crushed malted milk balls. Drizzle some of the chocolate fudge sauce on the inside of the glass, then fill it with crushed ice.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, creme de cacao, dark chocolate fudge sauce, chocolate malt powder, half and half, and chocolate bitters with a few ice cubes. Shake for 20-30 seconds.
  4. Pour the cocktail into the prepared glass and enjoy!
