This homemade Irish Cream recipe blends rich heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, Irish whiskey, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla for a smooth, indulgent liqueur. Ready in just 10 minutes, it’s perfect for gifting or enjoying in cocktails and desserts.


Ingredients

Scale

Irish Cream Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (227 grams)
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (397 grams, 1 can)
  • 1â…” cup Irish whiskey (378 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules (4 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup (18 grams, such as Hershey’s)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (2 grams)


Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a blender or use an immersion blender for about 30 seconds to mix thoroughly. Avoid over-blending to prevent whipping the cream. If any whipped cream forms on top, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  2. Bottle and Refrigerate: Pour the blended mixture into a tightly sealed container and place it in the refrigerator to chill.
  3. Serve: Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed. Enjoy as a creamy liqueur in drinks or desserts.

Notes

  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks for the best freshness.
  • Use a good quality Irish whiskey for best flavor results.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk or chocolate syrup.
  • Shake well before each use, as ingredients may naturally separate.
  • If desired, substitute almond extract with additional vanilla extract.
