St. Patrick’s Day is coming! Why not celebrate with your own Irish cream? This is kind of cobbled together from a bunch of different recipes, adjusted for what sounded good to me.
I used:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1Ā cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups Irish whiskey
- 1 packet VIA instant coffee (or 2 Tbsp. strong brewed coffee or espresso)
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
Your goal here is to blend this all really, really well — I used an immersion blender, but just tossing it all in your regular blender will work fine too. Store it in the fridge in a container that can be shaken up because the chocolate will settle to the bottom as it sits. Serve over ice or in coffee. Enjoy!
One Particular Kitchen 
My Mammy (that’s my grandmother) made me some of this for Christmas! It’s so good! PS. That container is too cute!
Thank you!! It’s from Pier One. Love the chalkboard paint on it!
I wonder if this would still taste good enough without the alcohol. I’ll have to try this out. It looks yummy and smooth. I love the carafe/container, too!
i bet this is just great over a few cubes of ice š
That’s exactly what I do with it! š
Homemade Irish cream? What a fantastic idea! Thanks for posting š
Just made this….it’s awesome! Thanks for sharing.
How long can you store it for?
I’ve heard 4 weeks and I’ve heard 8 weeks; I think at least 4, but it didn’t last that long at my house anyway. š
YUM! Great recipe!!!!
Just how big is that can of condensed milk? How much in mL? I’m from a different country, and I don’t know if we have the same standard condensed milk can. This sounds yummy!
It’s a 14 oz can, so roughly 414 ML? It’s good stuff!
my mother used to make this, dont think any lasted more than a day, lush…
Thanks for the recipe. I didn’t know how this was made.
I LOVE bailey’s! Next St. Paddy’s Day I am trying this!
The container makes the cream yummier :). I’m sure this one really taste good..AWESOME!
Is the coffee required?? I have people in my house who are either allergic to or otherwise do not like coffee.
Well it would change the flavor a bit, obviously, but the volume isn’t enough to mess anything up. If folks are allergic I think it would be fine! It doesn’t end up with a real coffee flavor, so the folks who don’t like coffee may like the Irish cream regardless. Let me know how it turns out! ~ OPK
Yum, that looks great! What a neat idea for holiday gifts too. Thanks for sharing!!!
as an irishman i love the way we seem to have ownership of anything containing whiskey. this sounds lovely i will be trying it out.
How long does this last?
Should keep for a month or so as long as it’s refrigerated. š ~OPK
My hubby just loved this idea and we tried it, and the taste is great, a little stronger than we expected, but something strange happened. DON’T OVER BLEND IT! Whipping cream turns to butter when over blended, so we had this mass of irish cream butter floating in the top of our blender, but when life gives me irish cream butter, I’m gonna make coffee flavored muffins, but anyway, just a tip.
ENJOY!
IRISH CREAM BUTTER! Oh that could be a whole new post! I mean, not ideal for drinking of course. š ~OPK
This looks really good I will have to try this out and soon.
