Homemade Irish Cream Recipe
Homemade Irish Cream makes a great gift during the holiday season and is the perfect addition to coffee and cocktails!
I love using it in my hot chocolate too! It’s so easy to make at home and it has even more flavor than the store-bought version!
I’ve been in Dublin and Killarney, Ireland this past week and it was a great time! We spent a lot of time in pubs drinking Irish whiskey, befriending the locals and taking in the breathtaking scenery!
The only thing that would have made it better would have been a splash of this Homemade Irish Cream in my morning coffee!

What is the flavor of Irish Cream?
The popular flavor of Irish cream liqueur, without the whiskey. Our Irish cream syrup comes complete with a perfect blend of creamy, nutty, chocolate and vanilla flavors that will turn lattes, mochas, and mocktails into a reason to say Sláinte.

Any suggestions for substituting the coffee extract?
Rebecca Hubbell says
The alcohol in the Irish cream acts as a preservative, so homemade versions should be kept in the refrigerator and can stay good for up to 2 months. But also check your batch just to be sure before using 🙂
Catherine says
This sounds so good, but wont the milk and cream go bad long before the 2 months?
