Wondering how to make Irish cream recipe? Just combine a few basic ingredients and it’s ready in minutes. Leave the alcohol out of this easy Irish cream recipe to make homemade Irish cream coffee creamer.
Let’s talk alcohol for a second. I generally don’t drink much alcohol. I’m usually using it for making things like homemade extracts. But I have a minor weakness for Irish cream. My mom gave me a bottle as a gift one year and I would drink a small glass on the rocks while I cooked dinner. I also discovered it goes in a cup of after dinner coffee.
You might want to leave the alcohol out and just make Irish cream coffee creamer (with Irish Cream French toast)for the mornings. Irish cream is also used to make some amazing Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes. Just in case you thought there was no reason to learn how to make Irish cream….
But store bought Irish cream is expensive. This homemade Irish cream recipe, however, is very affordable. You probably have every single ingredient to make it in your pantry and fridge.
Most Irish cream recipes call for whiskey. This one uses vodka. If you keep a bottle of vodka on hand you can make all kinds of things like homemade mint extract or homemade vanilla extract.
You will need chocolate sauce. You can homemade chocolate sauce or use store bought. You can even make your own sweetened condensed milk, if you don’t have any in your pantry.
