Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the condensed milk, cooled sugar syrup, vanilla, instant coffee, and whiskey in a blender.
- Blend until well combined and smooth.
- Pour into a bottle or jar and refrigerate for 1 week to let flavors age.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using high-quality whiskey. You can substitute instant coffee with freshly brewed espresso for a more robust taste, but adjust the liquid content accordingly. If you prefer a sweeter version, increase the sugar slightly. Blending in a pinch of cocoa powder can add a delightful chocolate note. Remember to let the mixture chill for at least a week to enhance the flavors.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bailey's Cream chilled, either on its own or over ice. It pairs beautifully with desserts like Peach Clafouti or can be used in coffee for a delicious twist. Consider drizzling it over ice cream or adding it to milkshakes for a decadent treat. For an elegant touch, garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Storage & Reheating
Store the Bailey's Cream in a sealed bottle or jar in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to a month. If you notice any separation, simply shake it gently before serving. Avoid freezing as it can alter the texture. To enjoy it again, simply pour over ice or mix into coffee or dessert recipes.
