Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Irish whiskey
- 2 tbsp Brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
- 2 tsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Almond extract (optional)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and Irish whiskey.
Add the brewed espresso or strong coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
Blend the mixture on low speed for 20-30 seconds, or until smooth and fully combined.
Taste the liqueur and adjust the flavoring, such as adding more vanilla or coffee if desired.
Pour the mixture into a sterilized glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before each use, as some settling may occur. Serve chilled over ice, in coffee, or as a dessert topping.
