Homemade Irish Cream

This homemade Irish cream is a favorite among family and friends! It tastes really yummy, makes you feel all warm and toasty inside and makes great homemade gifts. I’m sharing my Homemade Irish Cream Recipe below

I make this homemade Irish cream every year.Β  It’s something I look forward to every holiday season and my family and friends do too! In just under 5 minutes you can have your own homemade Irish cream to drink on its own or add a splash to your coffee. Plus, add a cute ribbon and you have your own homemade hostess gift.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups of whiskey
  • 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional – you can also use coconut extract instead, either way both are delish!)

Directions:

  • Pour all ingredients into a mixing bowl.
  • Using an immersion blender, mix together all ingredients for about 30 seconds. (You can also blend together in a blender). Just be careful not to over mix so as not to whip the cream.
  • Pour into a glass bottle or mason jar. Keep refrigerated.

    I can’t wait to try this. I think it’s a great way to change up Thanksgiving (I totally hate pumpkin).

      Hi Kim-
      These are just Ball jars and then I added some ribbon and faux holly. Super easy.

      Hi Jill-
      Keep stored in a covered glass mason jar or bottle in the refrigerator and it will keep for a few weeks. Shake well before pouring. Enjoy πŸ™‚

      Love this recipe thanks! In one reply you say it will keep in fridge one week and in another you say ☺️ “a few weeks”. I have no one to share with, so can I refrigerate for up to “a month”? Thanks!

        Hi Veronica! I should say it stores for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. Just make sure you shake well before pouring πŸ™‚
