Heavy cream
- Heavy cream Heavy cream is fresh cream skimmed from milk with a fat content of 30%-36%. The cream used in Irish Cream liqueur gives it its characteristic creamy consistency and pleasant mouthfeel. You can also use high-fat table cream or shelf-stable cream.
Whole milk
- Whole milk Whole milk with around 3.25% fat by weight provides richer flavor and creamier texture than reduced-fat milk or non-fat milk. Compared to cream, whole milk has a relatively thin consistency which makes Irish Cream easy to use and drink.
Sweetened condensed milk
- Sweetened condensed milk Sweetened condensed milk not only adds sweetness and creaminess to Homemade Irish Cream but also acts as a thickening agent to bind ingredients together to ensure a cohesive consistency. Make it at home if it’s not easily accessible using my easy Homemade Condensed Milk recipe.
Pure vanilla extract
- Pure vanilla extract Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of Homemade Irish Cream with a floral aroma. Make my recipe of Homemade Vanilla Extract so you always have good quality extract on hand at a fraction of store price!
Instant espresso powder
- Instant espresso powder Instant espresso powder infuses an intense coffee flavor into Irish Cream. In the meanwhile, the bitter instant espresso powder balances the sweetness from condensed milk.
O’Driscolls Irish Whiskey
- O’Driscolls Irish Whiskey O’Driscolls Irish whiskey imparts a complex and slightly boozy flavor setting Irish Cream apart from other cream-based liqueurs. It’s an exceptional triple-distilled blend of golden grain and malted barley. Aging in bourbon casks for a minimum of 3 years has gorgeously maturated and O’Driscolls Whiskey’s vanilla profile. Besides sweetness, O’Driscolls whiskey incorporates a toffee & soft vanilla essence as well as a slight spiciness. In the meanwhile, whiskey also: acts as a preservative extending the shelf life of Irish Cream; creates a stable emulsion by mixing other ingredients cohesively; cuts back the sweetness and provides a gentle kick for a well-balanced taste.
Well combine liquid ingredients: cream, whole milk, and condensed milk.
Fully dissolve espresso powder in vanilla extract then stir into the milk mixture. * (See important tips down below!)
Assemble: Stir in whiskey until thoroughly combined.
