Make Baileys Irish Cream

Every liqueur or cocktail fan knows what Baileys Irish Cream is. And with this recipe, you don't even have to search your local liquor store at night––make your own at home! It's very convenient and will probably taste better than a store bought one because it's as fresh as possible.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Irish whiskey*
  • 1 (14 ounce/414ml) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whipping cream, light cream, or half and half
  • 3 to 4 small eggs, optional see Warnings**
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (Torani brand almond syrup can be a substitute)

Steps

  1. Assemble the ingredients.
  2. Measure and pour all of the ingredients into a blender. You can also add one additional teaspoon of coffee granules and vanilla extract for taste.
  3. Blend everything together for 30 seconds on a high speed. Make sure that the mixture is smooth in texture.
  4. Store the cream in a well sealed bottle.
  5. Place the bottle in the refrigerator and let it chill.
  6. Enjoy Baileys by itself, as an ingredient to a drink, or "over the rocks" (over ice).

Tips

  • Spice up any recipe with Baileys, whether it's coffee, cheesecake, or ice cream.
  • To get the full flavor, shake the bottle every time before using.
  • This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator up to one month.
  • For an idea of the many cocktails asking for cream liqueur as an ingredient, including Baileys, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cocktails#Cream_liqueurs.

Warnings

  • Pasteurized eggs or egg whites may be bought by the carton and are safe to consume without cooking.
  • The real Baileys is manufactured with no egg tracing. It is optional to use eggs in this recipe, however, some websites that offer a homemade version of Baileys have included eggs as an ingredient. If you're concerned about adding eggs, simply don't. Add another 1/2 cup of whiskey.
