Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 oz cake-flavored vodka
  • 1 oz chocolate liqueur
  • 1/2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 candy cane, finely crushed
  • 1 tbsp white baking chips
  • 1/4 tsp shortening

Instructions

  1. In a mixing glass, combine half-and-half cream, vodka, and chocolate liqueur. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  2. In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gradually add heavy whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 3/4 of the crushed candy cane. Place the remaining crushed candy cane on a small plate. Refrigerate the whipped cream mixture until serving.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white baking chips and shortening. Stir until smooth, then spread onto a small plate. Rim the martini glass by spinning it in the melted chip mixture, then into the crushed candy cane.
  4. Pour the vodka mixture into the prepared glass and top with a dollop of the whipped cream mixture.
  5. Optionally, garnish with additional candy canes.
