🎄 Homemade Baileys Irish Cream for Christmas







🍫 A Festive Treat You’ll Want All Year Long

There’s something magical about making your own Homemade Baileys Irish Cream during the holidays. It’s creamy, rich, and full of cozy flavors — a touch of chocolate, a hint of coffee, and the smooth warmth of Irish whiskey.

Pour it over ice, mix it in your coffee, or bottle it up with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade Christmas gift. Once you make your own Baileys, you may never go back to store-bought again! 🎁

🧺 Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1½ cups Irish whiskey (like Jameson or Tullamore Dew)

  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup (or cocoa powder)

  • 1 tsp instant coffee (or espresso powder)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional, for nutty flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Blend It All Together

Add all ingredients to a blender.
Blend on low for about 30 seconds, just until smooth and combined — don’t over-blend or the cream may thicken too much.

Step 2: Taste & Adjust

Give it a taste!
Add more chocolate syrup for sweetness, or a splash more whiskey if you like it stronger.

Step 3: Bottle It Up

Pour into glass bottles or jars using a funnel.
Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks (shake before each use).
