I posted my recipe for Homemade Amaretto last week and reader Joyce asked if perchance I had a recipe for Homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream.
Well yes, as a matter of fact I do! This is suitable for gift giving-but remember, it contains cream & condensed milk (although my recipe doesn’t have raw eggs like many others) so it must be refrigerated.
This is sinfully good in milkshakes or coffee-just don’t share with the kiddos!
Homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream
1 C Cream
14oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 C Whiskey
1 tsp Instant Coffee
2 TBS Chocolate Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp Almond extract
-Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate overnight.
-Keep refrigerated & use within 3 weeks.






That looks awesome! We are huge Bailey’s fans at our house. Thanks for sharing.
Just think this is a brilliant recipe only thing is I don’t understand what the measurement c is can someone explain please thanks
c stands for Cup.
You rock!! I can’t wait to make this recipe! My mouth is watering right now! Thanks!
Jenn, I don’t buy whiskey as a rule, so what’s a good, frugal brand/
Um. uh. I don’t usually buy it very often either. I would say that just about anything that isn’t “bob’s whiskey” would work-after all you are adding a lot of other flavors to it! I’d say something like Wild Turkey is fine.
Thanks. I did some reading and came up with Evan Williams Black Label, but mentioned it to my husband, and you should have seen the look I received! He’s a die hard Crown Royal fan, but I can’t see him letting me pollute it with anything else.
I don’t think I’d waste Crown Royal, Makers Mark or anything like that on a drink that was going to have so much other stuff mixed in 🙂
