The Ultimate Homemade Irish Cream (Baileys Copycat) Guide
This rich, velvety liqueur combines heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, chocolate, and Irish whiskey into a luxurious drink that rivals any store-bought bottle.
Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Cocoa Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until a smooth, lump-free paste forms. This ensures the chocolate incorporates evenly without clumping.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a blender or large mixing bowl, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, the remaining heavy whipping cream, 1 cup Irish whiskey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the cocoa slurry.
-
Blend Gently: Pulse on low speed for 30 to 45 seconds, or whisk by hand until completely uniform. Do not over-blend at high speed, as heavy cream can start whipping and over-thicken the mixture.
-
Bottle and Chill: Using a clean funnel, pour the liquid into sterilized glass bottles or swing-top jars. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving over ice or in hot coffee.
