Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 ml Almond milk
- 60 ml Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 200 ml Vegan sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 250 ml Irish whiskey
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk and gently heat over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once the milk mixture is warm, add the espresso or strong brewed coffee, vegan sweetened condensed coconut milk, and cocoa powder. Whisk until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Add the maple syrup and whisk until fully incorporated.
Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the Irish whiskey. Stir well to incorporate the whiskey thoroughly into the mixture.
Once combined, transfer the liqueur to a clean glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal and refrigerate.
Allow the liqueur to chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Shake well before each use.
Serve chilled over ice or use as a base for vegan cocktails.
