How to Make Irish Creme Liqueur

  1. Prepare a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips to the heatproof bowl. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chilled evaporated milk until completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the instant coffee granules and whisk until fully dissolved.
  6. Gently fold in the chilled heavy whipping cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in the Irish whiskey.
  8. Pour the mixture into a sealed container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the liqueur to chill thoroughly. Enjoy responsibly!
