Rich and creamy Homemade Irish Cream can be used in a variety of beverages as well as in baked goods!
Let’s get the Saint Patrick’s Day party started with this copycat Bailey’s cream liquor!
Homemade Irish Cream is made from a mix of cream, sweetener, cocoa and a fine Irish whiskey!
This flavorful liquor is easy to make, and fresher than the store bought version!
Splurge a little and enjoy this liquor on its own, add it to coffee like you would a creamer or use it in a cocktail like this Bailey’s Irish Martini from An Affair From The Heart!
Don’t limit this liquor to beverages though! This can also be added to baked goods for a luxurious flavor! To get you started with some ideas I’m sharing recipes for brownies, cupcakes, cookies and cheesecake. All great recipes to share at a Saint Patrick’s Day party or festive adult event!
You may find a new favorite dessert after baking one of these fun treats!

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (14 ounce ) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cups Irish whiskey
- 1½ teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
- Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth. Pour into a clean glass container and keep refrigerated. Gently shake before using.
A batch of this liquor will keep fresh for a couple of weeks in your refrigerator. I enjoyed adding a little splash to my coffee. After the initial sweet flavor, a hint of the whiskey sneaks through adding a warming and delicious combination!
This also would be a wonderful homemade gift for someone special!
P.s. If you would like an alcohol-free coffee creamer this Homemade Coffee Creamer is delicious!
This is awesome!
Thanks, Rachael! It’s fun to create copycat recipes!

I never thought about making my own. What a great idea. I think my hubby has irish whiskey in the cabinet.
Thank you!
Anytime! 🙂
where did you find the bottles for your Irish Cream?
I picked up these at Marshall’s. They seem to carry different ones often. I hope you can find some. I would check World Market too!
