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!

This Homemade Irish Cream Recipe is delicious in coffee!

What is Irish Cream?

Irish cream is a cream liqueur based on Irish whiskey, cream, and other ingredients such as coffee, which can be served on its own, as an alcoholic substitute for cream and sugar in a hot coffee or used in mixed drinks.

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.

What to make with Homemade Irish Cream?

  • Irish Cream No Bake Cookies
  • Irish Cream Pie
  • Chocolate Guinness Cake
  • Irish Coffee

How to Make Irish Cream at Home!
