How to Make Baileys Irish Creme

  1. In a blender, combine the heavy cream, Irish cream liqueur, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the chocolate syrup, blending until fully incorporated and the desired color and sweetness are achieved.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container to remove any lumps or imperfections.
  5. Gently stir in the instant coffee granules until dissolved.
  6. Carefully pour the Baileys Irish Cream into dark glass bottles or jars.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the liqueur to chill. Best served after 24 hours.
  8. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
