Homemade Irish cream liqueur

Recipes Drinks
The secret to cream liqueurs is emulsion: how to mix fatty cream with alcohol without it separating. The sugar content and density of condensed milk help to stabilize the mixture, while the whiskey preserves it. It tastes much fresher and 'cleaner' than shop-bought versions, and you can adjust the strength exactly to your liking.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the cocoa powder with a tiny bit of cream in a glass until lump-free.

Tip: Cocoa is hard to wet (hydrophobic); if you sprinkle it straight into the large bowl, small lumps may remain.
2 ✓

Pour the condensed milk, cream, dissolved coffee, cocoa paste, and vanilla into a blender (or bowl).

Tip: The condensed milk provides the sweetness and body to the drink.
3 ✓

Mix on low speed until smooth. Do not overbeat; we don't want foam, just a homogeneous liquid.

Tip: If you mix it too much, the cream may churn into butter.
4 ✓

Slowly pour in the whiskey while stirring continuously.

Tip: Adding alcohol suddenly can curdle the milk proteins, which is why it must be added slowly while mixing.
5 ✓

Pour into a sterilised bottle and refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving.

Tip: The flavours need a little time (maturation) for the sharp edge of the whiskey to smooth out.

Recipe FAQ

How long does it keep?
Approx. 2 weeks in the fridge. Since you are using fresh cream without preservatives, it cannot be kept for months like store-bought versions.
