How to Make Irish Cream

  1. In a blender, combine 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup Irish whiskey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs (or 1/4 cup egg beaters).
  2. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy (about 1 minute).
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container to remove any lumps.
  4. Pour the Irish cream liqueur into a dark-colored glass bottle or jar.
  5. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
