Tips and Shortcuts
Use Good Quality Vodka: Since the vodka makes up a significant portion of the recipe, choose a high-quality vodka for the best flavor.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the liqueur before bottling and adjust the sweetness by adding more condensed milk or a touch of sugar if desired.
Infuse Flavors: If you want to experiment, try infusing the liqueur with additional flavors like cinnamon or hazelnut extract for a unique twist.
Variations
Nut-Free Version: If you want a Nutella-inspired liqueur without the hazelnuts, try using chocolate spread without nuts or a hazelnut-free chocolate spread and adjust the flavoring to taste.
Spiced Nutella Liqueur: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a splash of coffee liqueur to the mix for a warm, spiced version of Nutella liqueur.
Chocolate-Hazelnut Liqueur: Combine equal parts Nutella and cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor and a thicker liqueur.
Storing Nutella Liqueur
Store your Nutella liqueur in an airtight bottle or jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to shake the bottle before using, as some settling may occur due to the creamy nature of the liqueur.
