• 1/3 cup white crème de cacao
• 3 tbsp. 33-36% whipping cream
• 3 tbsp. milk (2% or whole)
• 1/3 cup couverture Bittersweet Chocolate Drops
• Chocolate Shavings (optional)

Directions:

1. Roughly chop bittersweet morsels and place in a heat proof bowl
2. On a stovetop, warm the cream and milk to approximately 80 degrees C while stirring to avoid scalding.

4. In a shaker with ice, add the brandy and crème de cacao, then pour in the chocolate mixture.
