Homemade Bailey's Irish Cream




Bailey's Cream afficionados know just how expensive it can be, but it is soooo sooo good! Consider making your own from this great recipe.  Share it with friends and family.  It's easy to make and keeps up to 2 months.  The recipe came from the discussion board on Chowhound where it was posted in response to a recipe that used eggs.  I don't know about you but the idea of using eggs in this drink is... a tad repulsive!

Homemade Bailey's Irish Cream

1 C light cream (I used heavy whipping cream, which made it even richer)

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

1 2/3 C Irish whiskey (I used Jameson's)

1 t instant coffee

2 T Hershey's chocolate syrup (I used Torani (this isn't the flavored Torani for Italian Sodas, it's a chocolate sauce)

1 t vanilla

1 t almond extract (I skipped this entirely but feel free to taste test and make your own decisions)

Combine all ingredients in a blender and set on high speed for 30 seconds.

Bottle in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. Shake before using

Will Keep up to 2 months.
