Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine Irish whiskey, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, eggs, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a blender.
- Blend until smooth and well mixed.
- Pour the mixture into a bottle or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat heavy cream and ensure the eggs are fresh. If you're looking for a non-alcoholic version, consider substituting the Irish whiskey with a combination of strong brewed tea and vanilla extract for flavor. Chocolate syrup can be replaced with cocoa powder mixed with a little sugar for a different chocolate flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled over ice or use it as a decadent addition to coffee or dessert cocktails. It pairs beautifully with Mom O'S Irish Soda Bread for a delightful treat. You can also drizzle it over cakes or use it in milkshakes for an indulgent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Irish cream liquor in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Shake well before serving, as separation may occur. For longer storage, consider freezing in an ice cube tray; then transfer to a bag and use as needed in cocktails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of whiskey?
Yes, you can substitute Irish whiskey with bourbon or another type of whiskey, though it will slightly alter the flavor profile. Each type brings its own unique character, so feel free to experiment to find your preferred taste.
Is it safe to use raw eggs in this recipe?
Using raw eggs carries a risk of salmonella. To mitigate this, use pasteurized eggs, which are treated to kill bacteria. Alternatively, you can omit the eggs entirely if you're concerned, though the texture may be less creamy.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
For a vegan version, substitute Irish whiskey with a non-alcoholic alternative, use coconut or almond milk instead of heavy cream, and replace eggs with silken tofu blended until smooth. Sweetened condensed milk can be substituted with coconut cream mixed with a sweetener.
