Creme de Cacao recipe

* I Have Not Made This Yet

Large Batch

• 9 oz cacao nibs
• 16 oz Dermerara sugar
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 750 mL Rum (aged recommended)

Steps:

1. Toast the cacao nibs in a 350-degree F oven until aromatic, about 5 minutes, taking care not to burn.
2. Combine the hot cacao nibs with the rum in a zip-close plastic bag and place in a large bowl.
3. Submerge the bag in boiling water and let it soak until the water comes to room temperature.
4. Using a chinois or a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain the infused rum into a large bowl. Discard the solids.
5. Add the sugar and salt, then stir until fully dissolved.
6. Pour into a jar or other airtight container, seal and store at room temperature.
