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.

It’s great frothed into coffee too for an Irish Coffee!

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 π

March 12, 2023 at 12:07 pmLove this recipe thanks! In one reply you say it will keep in fridge one week and in another you say βΊοΈ “a few weeks”. I have no one to share with, so can I refrigerate for up to “a month”? Thanks!
Nicolle
March 12, 2023 at 4:08 pmHi Veronica! I should say it stores for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. Just make sure you shake well before pouring π
I hope you enjoy!
