It’s the week before Christmas….how is everyone doing? Feeling like the miracle of Christmas, will be that you will actually be ready for Christmas when it arrives? Another year of wondering how it will happen, but somehow, it does. Or you just say “screw it….what’s done is done,” and pour yourself a beverage. Might I suggest some Homemade Irish Cream?
This recipe is so easy, and delicious, that it’s always on my “must” list of things I need to get done. I make a few batches. One for me, and one to bottle up for gifts. Trust me, no one asks for a receipt when you give them a gift like this. 😉
Who doesn’t like a like Irish Cream in their coffee over the Holidays? I prefer sipping a little while making a list of lists for all the things that need to happen before the big day, or sitting by the tree at the end of a long day. Lacking some Christmas spirit this year? This will help.
- 1 Cup Cream (I use Blend)
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1⅔ cup of Irish whiskey (I use Jameson's)
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 2 Tbsp chocolate syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- Mix all ingredients well.
- Pour into glass bottles or jars
- Store in refrigerator.
- Will keep for 3-4 weeks.
- Shake before serving.
*Notes about this recipe. I use Jameson’s Irish Whiskey, but you can use any type of whiskey. The recipe calls for 1 2/3 cup of Whiskey. It has a kick. You may want to try 1 cup first and see what you think.
Homemade Irish Cream is always on my list of Top 10 Go-To Holiday Recipes. Everyone loves a Homemade Gift. A homemade gift that takes 5 minutes and makes people happy…it’s a Christmas Miracle.
Looks yummy!
