What You’ll Need

1 3/4 cups (14 fl oz/395 ml) milk (any type you prefer)
1 can (14 oz/395 g) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup (2 ½ fl oz/71 ml) Baileys Irish Cream (or a similar Irish cream liqueur)

How to Make It

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and milk.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until it’s warmed through (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Baileys Irish Cream until fully combined.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container or jar.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 6-7 days. Shake well before each use.

Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions

This Homemade Bailey’s Coffee Creamer is a versatile addition to your morning routine or dessert table. Try it in a hot cup of coffee for a cozy treat, or drizzle it over iced coffee for a refreshing twist. It also pairs beautifully with desserts like chocolate cake, brownies, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.

Storage Tips: Keep It Fresh

Store your creamer in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 6-7 days. Shake well before each use, as the ingredients may separate slightly over time. For longer storage, consider freezing it in ice cube trays and thawing as needed—just give it a good stir once thawed.

Customize It: Recipe Variations

Feel free to experiment with this recipe to suit your taste! Swap out Bailey’s for another flavored liqueur like Kahlúa or Amaretto. For a non-alcoholic version, use a coffee-flavored syrup or extract. You can also adjust the sweetness by using low-fat or unsweetened condensed milk and adding a touch of vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Quick Tips: Time-Saving Hacks

To save time, prepare a double batch and store it in smaller containers for easy use throughout the week. If you’re in a rush, skip the stovetop step and simply whisk the ingredients together in a jar—just let it sit in the fridge for an hour to blend the flavors.

Essential Equipment: What You’ll Need

All you need is a medium saucepan, a whisk, and an airtight container or jar for storage. A glass jar with a lid works perfectly for both mixing and storing, making cleanup a breeze. If you’re using a jar, shake it vigorously instead of whisking for a smooth, well-combined creamer.
