How to Make Low Carb Irish Cream

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder, and 1/4 cup Splenda or your preferred low-carb sweetener until well combined.
  2. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey to the cocoa mixture, whisking constantly until a smooth paste forms.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 4 cups heavy cream over low heat. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. Reduce the cream to 2 1/2 cups, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Once the cream has cooled, add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional) to the paste.
  5. In a blender, combine the cooled cream, the cocoa paste, and the remaining 1/4 cup of Irish whiskey. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour into a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy chilled!
