Ah, Baileys Irish Cream ☘️🍫🥛—that smooth, creamy, slightly boozy liqueur that’s perfect in coffee, desserts, or sipping on its own. I can give you a homemade version that tastes surprisingly close to the real thing.
Homemade Baileys Irish Cream
Ingredients (Makes ~2 cups)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 tsp chocolate syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Irish whiskey
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Combine cream & flavorings
- In a blender or bowl, mix heavy cream, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add whiskey & condensed milk
- Blend again until fully combined.
- Bottle & chill
- Pour into a clean glass bottle or jar.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using.
- Serve
- Shake gently before using. Great in coffee, over ice, or in desserts like cheesecake, brownies, or tiramisu.
Tips
- Shelf life: About 2 weeks in the fridge.
- Use stronger coffee for more of a mocha flavor.
- Can adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing the sweetened condensed milk.
I can also give you a quick 5-minute version with fewer ingredients that still tastes creamy and indulgent, perfect for mixing into drinks or desserts.
