Description

This homemade Baileys Irish Cream recipe is a festive, creamy, and indulgent holiday drink, perfect for sharing with friends and family during Christmas! With hints of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla, this easy-to-make liqueur is a great addition to coffee, cocktails, or enjoyed on its own over ice. It makes a wonderful, heartfelt Christmas gift, too.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Irish whiskey (such as Jameson)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 2 tsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional, for a subtle nutty flavor)

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the Irish whiskey, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, chocolate syrup, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
  • Blend on low speed for 20–30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Do not over-blend, as this can cause the cream to curdle.
  • Taste and adjust the sweetness or flavor as needed. For a stronger coffee flavor, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee granules.
  • Pour the mixture into a glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • Shake well before serving. Serve over ice, add to coffee, or use in your favorite holiday cocktails.

Notes

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use, as the mixture may separate slightly over time.
  • You can adjust the amount of Irish whiskey depending on how strong you want the flavor.
  • To gift this homemade Baileys, pour it into small decorative bottles and label them with a festive ribbon!
