Homemade Baileys

Need a yummy thank-you host and hostess gift? Homemade Baileys or Irish Cream does not only taste much better than the store bought counter part but also makes a great gift or a nice treat for yourself!

Put all the following ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds or so:

2/3 cup Whisky 1 cup half & half creme 1 can sweetened condensed milk 2 tbsp chocolate syrup or chocolate/caramel syrup 2 tsp. vanilla 2 tbsp. of instant coffee or espresso

I usually double up the recipe and use up one full bottle (750 ml) of whisky. Make sure you check the expiry date for your half & half creme and KEEP YOUR BAILEYS IN THE FRIDGE :-)

By the way: IKEA sells all kinds of great glass bottles and carafes - I like using the 0.5 liter VARDAGEN Carafes with Lid (CA$2.99) or the 1 liter KORKEN bottles with stopper (CA$3.99).
