Homemade Irish Cream

 

Homemade Irish Cream Recipe

Bottom of Form

Aunt Kate always said why buy the expensive Bailey's Irish Cream when you can make it at home. She always said that most pantry shelves have the ingredients to make it whenever you wanted it, but she had my father buy a new bottle of Jameson's Irish Whiskey for this recipe, but she had everything else in the pantry for sure. My father also bought a bottle of Bailey's so we could compare and test the two. She was right after we made the homemade version it tasted better than the Bailey's. So, give it a try and save yourself money. 

Ingredients 

1 cup heavy cream 

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)

1⅔ cup Irish whiskey 

2 teaspoons of instant coffee granules 

1 tablespoon chocolate syrup, such as Hershey's

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

½ teaspoon almond extract 

Directions: 

Combine all ingredients in a blender or use an immersion blender for 30 seconds. You don’t want to blend for too long or whipped cream may form If you do get a bit of cream on top, just sift through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Bottle in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. I have reused the Bailey’s Irish Cream bottle (wash out the bottle and sterilize it)

Shake well before using.
