Irish Cream recipe



I don't know how I found this recipe- it was a last minute effort to use what we had in our pantry/fridge. In the end, my husband went out to buy MORE whiskey, 'just in case' we needed it.
I have to tell you this was absolutely delicious. You have to try it. It's better than what you can buy in the dark brown bottle. We made two batches and stored it in the fridge for about 3 hours. We told our dinner friends to come in and try it. OMG- you should have seen the full glasses my husband poured! In fact, the image ( which was taken the next day) shows what I'm talking about! They went down so smoothly- so easy to have another. And they weren't filling! We all posed for some hysterical pictures afterwards! ( not included)
Homemade Irish Cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk (2% works best)
1 can sweetened, condensed milk (14 ounces)
1 2/3 cups Irish whiskey
a pinch of instant coffee granules
1 1/2 tablespoons thick chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together, making sure that mixture is well combined. Pour into bottles; seal and store in the refrigerator.

Shake cream before serving. Makes a little less than 4 cups.
