- 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
- In a mixing glass, combine half-and-half cream, vodka, and chocolate liqueur. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- 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.
- 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.
