Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk (low sodium)
- 1.5 cups Irish whiskey
- 2 tablespoons Strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
Instructions
Begin by ensuring all ingredients are ready and measured. This will help blend the liqueur smoothly and efficiently.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and low sodium sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Add the Irish whiskey to the cream and condensed milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Incorporate the strongly brewed coffee by slowly pouring it into the mixture, stirring constantly.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the bowl. Use a whisk to blend it into the liquid until there are no cocoa lumps.
Pour in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Stir well to combine these flavors evenly.
Finally, add the pure maple syrup, stirring until the syrup is fully integrated and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the homemade Irish cream liqueur into a clean glass or ceramic bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Seal the bottle and refrigerate for at least 1 day before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld seamlessly.
Shake the bottle gently before each use. Serve chilled over ice or as a delightful addition to your favorite coffee.
