When it starts getting chilly outside and the stores are full of holiday cheer, I always feel like that's the perfect time for Irish cream. And I really like to make it myself, because I can tweak all the ingredients to my own personal preferences...for instance, I put more whiskey in it than I'm admitting to here in this recipe. I made 2 jars (yes, jars...I live in Kentucky now, so a Mason jar just felt appropriate for my booze), one of them with a peppermint twist on the original. I didn't use the blender this time, because The Beeb was sleeping and she's not a big fan of the blender sounds.
I dunno', how would you pose a jar of booze? |
Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 2/3 cup Irish whiskey
1/3 cup cold coffee
1/4 cup chocolate syrup (I like Hershey’s Special Dark syrup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract (OR ½ tsp mint extract)
Instructions
1) Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend.
2) Chill, serve over ice, slurp!
OR, you can do it the Kentucky way:
1) Put all the ingredients in a Mason jar and shake vigorously. Step 2 remains the same.
enjoy!
