Time to share my "Homemade Bailey's" Recipe

[Ann-Marie Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ann-Marie]

Since I am sharing this with other friends I thought I would post this recipe. WE have already made our first container for the Holiday season!

2 cups light cream
2 (14 oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
6 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rye (I use Seagrams 7)

Put all ingredients in a 2 quart container and shake well. Chill before serving.
Absolutely delicious and a heck of a lot cheaper than the real stuff.

How long can this stay after it is made?

[Ann-Marie Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ann-Marie]

It will stay until probably the expiration date on the cream. However, it does not last very long here. We have it straight up, on the rocks, and in coffee. It makes about 1 1/2 quarts. Enjoy!

I have enough to make half, I have 1 pint of light cream and 1 can of Condensed milk. but I do not have the coconut extract. Can I make it with out the Coconut extract?

[Ann-Marie Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ann-Marie]

You could. My children have complained that sometimes I go too heavy on the coconut. Why not give it a try!

Frank,

Here's a modified one we've liked for years. Note - NO Coconut! (Hate that taste!) but the almond is an important hint of original flavor. VERY rich

HOMEMADE BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM

1 3/4 c. Irish whiskey
1 can Eagle condensed milk
1 c. whipping cream
4 beaten eggs
2 tbsp. chocolate syrup
2 tbsp. instant coffee
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Mix all ingredients in blender. Chill well before serving. Serve over ice.

Can substitute skim milk for whipping cream.

Add more or less whiskey, to taste.

Thanks for posting Ann-Marie, My Mum often made Baileys at Christmas time but she passed away earlier this year and I never did get her recipe.

1 1/2 cups rye (I use Seagrams 7)

Thanks, I had forgotten you call whiskey Rye. We usually call it Scotch so it didn't register.

My original recipe called for eggs, but I leave them out because of the threat of salmonella. Do you really use 1 and 1/2 cups of whiskey?? WOW!

(I know, the eggs bothered me a bit too. But it calls for them so we do it. I hear there are some that are pasteurized - we'll look for those this year)

Would the alcohol kill off any salmonella bacteria?
