Homemade Irish Cream


This is a great recipe that tastes just like the store-bought stuff for a fraction of the cost. It makes a wonderful gift and tastes heavenly in coffee!


INGREDIENTS :

1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup Irish whiskey (or whatever's handy- I used rum with good results)
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

DIRECTIONS:

In a blender, combine heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, Irish whiskey, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Blend on high for 20 to 30 seconds.
Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving.
