Featuring the classic ingredients of a mince pie — think a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of citrus, and a sprinkling of raisins, this vodka-based drink oozes nostalgic winter nights, cosy evenings, and festive parties with friends. As the only chocolatier to run two bars; one in London’s Borough Market and one at our hotel in Saint Lucia, we know a thing or two about crafting an impeccable tipple. We’re always on the lookout for new, innovative flavours for our Velvetised Creams and we’re delighted to welcome our Mince Pie Vodka Cream to the collection. If making two pies: Mix Mincemeat Pie Filling with 4 tart apples, diced, and 2 Tbsp. bourbon or brandy in a large bowl. Line a 9" pie pan with one dish of pie crust. Chill and repeat with second pie pan and second crust. Divide mincemeat mixture between the two pie shells. Top each with another pie crust cut to fit and slit the tops; or slice into strips and arrange into a lattice top. Step 3

Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the moulds and leave to cool. These can be frozen between layers of greaseproof paper in a Tupperware box until Christmas. Defrost at room temperature or for a few minutes in a warm oven. Serve immediately, dusted with icing sugar and topped with the orange peel. Whilst this is happening, remove the zest from the oranges using a zester if you have one. If not, then remove strips of peel with a peeler and scrape off any of the white pith that may remain on the peel. Finely slice the peel into thin strips. Alternatively, you can prepare your hot chocolate on the hob or go for a refreshing iced version. To make a chilled drinking chocolate, I can not wait to get started on this recipe. It seems time-consuming (which I don't mind) and relatively simple. Not to mention it sounds absolutely delicious! I have been promising my brother-in-law, for the past 25 years, that I would bake for him a homemade mincemeat pie. I will let you know what he thinks of the recipe.
