Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Whiskey (Irish whiskey preferred)
- 0.5 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the milk chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Take care not to overheat or scorch the chocolate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.
In a blender, combine the cooled chocolate mixture, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, whiskey, espresso powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture on low speed for 30-60 seconds until fully combined and smooth. Avoid over-blending, as excessive blending can cause the cream to thicken too much.
Taste the mixture and adjust the whiskey quantity to your liking if desired.
Transfer the Chocolate Irish Cream to a clean glass bottle or airtight container. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.
Allow the mixture to chill for at least 4 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Shake well before serving. Enjoy as a standalone drink over ice, as a coffee creamer, or use it as a base for cocktails!
