Irish Creme Liquer (must be stored in fridge)
4 egg yoks
1 400 g can condensed milk
300 mls cream
3 T chocolate sauce
2 t coconut essence
450 ml Irish Whiskey

Mix well, store in fridge.The End.

Why the coconut essence!The recipe I have doesn't have egg yolks in it but has coffee, vanilla and almond essences but if it's not as good as the real thing I probably won't bother anyway

Baileys

3/4 cup whisky
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup cream
1/2 litre vanilla ice cream
2 tsp powdered instant coffee
1/4 tsp chocolate essence
1/4 tsp caramel essence

Combine all ingredients and beat with egg beater or mixer.It is quite yum.

I meant to say, don't waste your time using just one "dose" or recipe, double or treble it, 'cos it won't last long - it is very very drinkable.

My Recipe was my great aunties, it had chickory essence, and whiskey and something else hang on i'll see if i can find it.

Whatever you are making, it's not Bailey's.
Bailey's has NO COFFEEin it (as I say this time every year). Or chicory.
I am sensitive to both and if it were in the original, believe me I'd know.

However FWIW the recipe we use is very similar to that given by #2, including the chocolate and coconut essences - only in Imperial, I've been making it that long!

southerngurl, Dec 5, 6:18pm
The OP said Irish Cream not baileys. Irish Cream does have chicory and/or coffee.

sarahb5, Dec 5, 7:22pm
I'm just thinking that by the time I've bought the whiskey I might as well buy the Irish Creme or Baileys anyway .

Grind two cups of sugar and two vanilla pods ( you can get them cheap on Trademe from guess who!) , Add to two cups of water and boil for ten minutes.Turn off heat andadd half a cup ofinstant coffee - preferably the Expresso type-.

Allow to cool and mix inone and a half cups of vodka andbottle in an airtight bottle and leave for 3-4 daysfor the vanilla flavour todevelop -start sipping!

Kahlua Recipe. Had this recipe for years. 4 cups sugar, 5 cups water. Boil for 2 minutes. Add 6tblsp powdered coffee. ( I dissolve this with a little of the above, easier to mix through). Boil for 1 minute. Let all this cool. Then add 31/4 cups of Vodka. Put into a flagon and add one or two good vanilla beans. Leave for one month. I then pour into empty kahlua bottles. Enjoy, we do.
