Here’s a simple, rich recipe to make your own Homemade Baileys Irish Cream—creamy, slightly chocolatey, and perfect over ice or in coffee.
🥃 Homemade Baileys Irish Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can (400 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Irish whiskey (like Jameson Irish Whiskey)
- 1–2 tbsp chocolate syrup
- 1 tsp instant coffee (or espresso powder)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: ½ tsp almond extract (for extra depth)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender
- Blend for 20–30 seconds until smooth
- Taste and adjust:
- More chocolate → richer flavor
- More whiskey → stronger kick
- Pour into a clean glass bottle
- Refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving
🧊 How to use it
- Serve over ice
- Add to coffee or hot chocolate
- Drizzle over desserts like ice cream
⏳ Storage
- Keep refrigerated
- Lasts about 1–2 weeks (shake before use)
⚠️ Tips
- Don’t overdo the alcohol or it can thin the texture
- If it separates slightly, just shake—it’s normal
- Use fresh cream for best taste
✅ What it tastes like
Very close to the classic Baileys Irish Cream—sweet, creamy, with a smooth whiskey finish.
If you want, I can give you a non-alcoholic version or a low-sugar version too.
