I love to make this around Christmas and call it George Baileys. Because it makes for a wonderful life, and whoever drinks it will be the richest (wo)man in town. This recipe fills about one and a half 750 ML bottles, for about half the price of one bottle of Baileys.
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 2/3 cup Irish whiskey (I'd recommend Jameson or 2 Gingers)
3 Tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant coffee (not prepared - the "grounds" without water)
Preparation:
Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth and mixed.
Cook & Serve:
That's it. Pour into a glass bottle and store in refrigerator for up to two months. (It won't last that long.) Shake before serving; it may separate.
A Little Backstory:
I make bottles of this every December to keep on hand for guests and to give away as gifts to friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. Sure, you can hand someone a bottle of Baileys from the store and they'll appreciate it. But they'll love it if it's homemade. (Don't tell them how super simple it is to make.)
