Indulge in a luxurious, dairy-free twist on an Irish classic with this Vegan No Alcohol Irish Cream. Crafted with the rich creaminess of coconut milk and coconut cream, this velvety drink is sweetened naturally with maple syrup and enhanced by the bold flavors of cocoa powder and a hint of instant espresso. A splash of vanilla and almond extracts adds layers of decadence, making it the perfect alcohol-free treat. Ready in just 15 minutes, this easy-to-make vegan liqueur alternative is perfect for pouring over ice, stirring into coffee, or even drizzling over desserts. Completely plant-based and irresistibly smooth, itβs a versatile delight youβll want to keep stocked in your refrigerator!
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and coconut cream. Whisk together over medium heat until smooth and fully combined.
Add the maple syrup, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Continue whisking until the cocoa powder and espresso dissolve completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
Allow the vegan Irish cream to cool slightly before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle with a lid.
Once fully cooled, store the Irish cream in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. Shake well before serving.
Serve chilled over ice or use it as a creamy addition to coffee or desserts!
