Ingredients for Homemade Baileys Irish Cream

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Whiskey
  • Hersheys Chocolate Syrup
  • Almond Extract
  • Instant Espresso Powder
  • Vanilla Extract

How to Make Homemade Baileys Irish Cream

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate flavor to your preference. You can add more powdered sugar for sweetness, more chocolate liqueur for intensity, or more heavy cream for creaminess.
  4. Pour into airtight bottles or jars. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The flavor will deepen and improve over time.

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.
