This easy recipe comes from the McNab Family Cookbook, a little self published cookbook with some of my favorite Irish inspired recipes (among many other goodies). There are actually 3 Homemade Baileys Irish cream recipes in my little book with different ingredients (eggs, chocolate syrup and rum). I combined the parts I liked best to create this delicious recipe.

Ingredients

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk thickens and sweetens the mixture.
  • Light Cream makes this creamy of course and helps balance out the sweetness of the condensed milk.
  • Whiskey is used to spike this treat. No need for a fancy whiskey, an inexpensive brand works just as well.
  • Flavor Instant coffee and vanilla add flavor.

To Make Irish Cream without Alcohol

This Irish cream can be made without alcohol. Skip the whiskey and add a teaspoon or so of rum extract or whiskey extract. Brands can vary so add a little bit at a time until you reach the desired flavor!
