One of the best ways to enjoy coffee is with Irish Cream. Instead of buying Irish Cream you can make your own “Better than Baileys Irish Cream”. After making this you will never buy Irish Cream from the store again. This Irish Cream goes fantastic with your coffee, as an after dinner drink, or even poured over ice cream for a decadent dessert.
Yields: 4 Cups
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 3/4 cup Irish Whiskey
1 tsp instant expresso
2 tsp chocolate syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
Directions:
- Mix all the ingredients into a blender.
- Blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Don’t over blend or the cream will clump. Blend on low for a maximum of 30 seconds. If you over blend don’t worry your Irish Cream is not ruined. You can strain the lumps through a nut bag, cheesecloth or sieve.
- Pour you Irish Cream into an airtight storage container or bottle. You can use a mason jar or bottles with a seal. I purchased my bottles from Amazon. The type I purchased were Giara Swing Top Bottles 33 ¾ Ounce/1 Liter (4 Pack) ROUND Clear Glass Grolsch Flip Top Bottle With Stopper, for Beverages, Smoothies, Kefir, Beer, Soda, Juicing, Kombucha, Water, Milk, Oil and Vinegar.

After making this you will want to store it in the refrigerator. It can store up to two months, but mine usually gets drank much sooner than that!
