Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or low-carb sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Espresso or strong brewed coffee, chilled
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Whiskey
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, and erythritol. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sweetener is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a blender, combine the cooled cream mixture with vanilla extract, chilled espresso, cocoa powder, and whiskey.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Taste the liqueur, and if necessary, adjust sweetness by adding more erythritol to taste.
Transfer the irish cream to a clean, airtight bottle and refrigerate. Shake well before serving.
Serve chilled over ice or use in your favorite cocktail recipes.
