To prepare the base:
In a medium-sized pot, heat the unsweetened and sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Add the powdered sugar and stir until the ingredients are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Adding the cream and flavorings:
Pour the cream and vanilla extract into the heated mixture. Continue stirring, but do not bring to a boil – just until the ingredients are well combined.
To enhance the flavor:
Remove the pot from the heat and add the coconut liqueur and vodka. Stir gently until smooth.
Chilling:
Pour the liqueur into clean bottles or carafes and let it cool. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours – the flavors will meld and the consistency will become even creamier.
Serving and storage tips:
Serve Tussi Likör chilled in elegant glasses or over ice.
Garnish the rims with coconut flakes or chocolate icing for a wow effect.
Store the liqueur in the refrigerator, preferably in an airtight container. It will keep fresh for about two weeks.
