HOMEMADE IRISH CREAM


This is a fun recipe for St. Patrick's Day and can be a great gift idea for any occasion. Sweet, creamy and one of my favorite drinks.

Homemade Irish Cream (Baileys)
Makes a little over 3 cups

1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup Irish whiskey
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
1 1/2 cup heavy cream


Add sweetened condensed milk, whiskey, chocolate syrup, vanilla and coffee to a blender and blend until coffee crystals dissolve, about 1 minute.

Add heavy cream to mixture and blend a few more seconds. Keep refrigerated. Should keep for about 2 weeks or to the expiration that is on your heavy cream.

Enjoy over ice cubes...

or over ice cream (vanilla or coffee would be great) or add a little in a cup of coffee.

This also is a fun gift idea. Pour into glass bottles (you can find a variety of bottles at Hobby Lobby, here is a coupon link for 40% off a regular priced item) or use a mason jar. Add a tag saying "Homemade Irish Cream" and on the back of the tag include instructions to keep refrigerated and the expiration date.
