Homemade (Bailey's) Irish Creme

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker years ago and has been a Fonke Classic ever since.  It is a rich and creamy version of Bailey's Irish Crème.  It goes down smoothly, but beware, for it can sneak up on you.

I have often given this as gifts to our neighbors at Christmas or make for special occasions. And now the torch is passing to my children who have begun making it for their friends!   I might just whip up a batch for Valentine's Day tonight!   Enjoy! 

Thanks Debbie Blue for sharing this with me long long ago!

Bailey’s Irish Crème

By Debbie Blue

 

4 eggs

1 can sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand)

1 cup whiskey

2 tsp instant coffee

1 cup half n half (or I used 2% milk for a light version)

2 TBL chocolate syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp almond extract

 

Dissolve coffee in whiskey before adding to remaining ingredients. In a blender, blend all ingredients together.  Will keep in refrigerator for about a month. 

On e batch makes enough for 3 pint-sized mason jars.
