Rich, sweet, and infused with whiskey that has been mellowed by heavy cream, homemade Irish cream is dreamy. It’s much more subtle and sophisticated than its commercial counterpart.
Homemade Irish Cream
Unless you’ve never been in a bar or had an adult beverage in the United States, you’ve definitely heard of and probably enjoyed Bailey’s Irish Cream. From Irish coffees to Mudslides, Irish cream is everywhere.
It’s also used in many cakes, frostings, and other desserts. And if you love Bailey’s, you should definitely be making Irish cream at home.
Why? Well, fresh is always best, for starters. But it’s also so easy to make it seems silly not to. You can also make your own subtle adjustments to the recipe to make it exactly like you want it.
Which brings us to an important point. What is Irish cream anyway?
What is Bailey’s Irish Cream?
Irish cream is a perfectly balanced of cream, Irish whiskey, chocolate, and coffee.
Commercial versions are emulsified with vegetable oil, and are good for up to six months after being opened so long as they’re refrigerated. Homemade foregoes the vegetable oil and uses the blender to add an aerated texture and is good for up to two months in the refrigerator.
Homemade Irish Cream Recipe
To make your very own homemade Irish cream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- heavy cream
- sweetened condensed milk
- Irish whiskey

- almond extract
Irish Cream Recipe

Worried about whether you’ll be able to use it all up in time? Well, try it in Bailey’s Ice Cream, drizzled over chocolate cake, or in coffee, cocoa, or tea like our Italian Cream Liqueur (a creamy Almond liqueur).
