i have been making this for years with a few differences. i use a good quality chocolate fudge sauce, fat free condensed milk, 8 oz half and half, 8 oz heavy cream, 4 eggs and 1/2 bottle jameson's irish whiskey. even with the eggs it lasts for weeks. it is delicious in coffee!

Nice! It was better than I expected! I used fat-free half&half and far-free sweetened condensed milk. I didn't have the coffee, so I used a splash of Tia Maria. It's not what you'd buy in the store, but I wasn't expecting that (I was expecting much worse since I stuck in all the fat-free ingredients). But it's really good!

does anyone know how long this is good for? do the egg yokes make it good for only a couple of days?

I've been making the Homemade Irish cream for years...my recipe is a bit different, whiskey instead of brandy, coconut extract instead of almond, and whipping cream instead of non-dairy creamer. We call it the "fat maker". LOL...i think I will try the non-dairy this year.

I have made this for Christmas for the past two years and it's always a hit! I don't blend for 12 minutes (maybe a type-o) just until everything it mixed together.

Re the review by "juicemom", Baileys does NOT have artificial presertavives -the alcohol is the preservative. This recipe is OK but not a patch on the original.

Not bad but not the brand name either. Too much chocolate syrup but I'll keep working with it since it's a lot less expensive than you know what.

This delicious drink rivals the best brand in taste and texture. Perhaps blending 5 or more minute will eliminate straining. I think there was a typo,(12 min.) but it worked for me.

Excellent. I use fat free condensed milk and fat free half & half, so I can really enjoy it knowing most of the fat is out. Adjust liquor to your liking. I give this out at Christmas in a nice bottle.

Fatfree half-and-half tastes good in this recipe in place of creamer.

This is a good recipie but it could be better. If you need to play around with the ingredients you will get a better flavor suited to personal likes.

This was incredible! Much better than store bought, and so much cheaper. It was so easy to make and adjust to your liking. My husband made 3 batches, each with slightly different amounts of coffee, almond, and chocolate. Each batch was delicious, but slightly unique.

What I like best about this recipe is the lack of preservatives...unlike what you find in the popular brand name versions! Just be aware that if you over process it, the cream will start to get lumpy. I find it best to just stir.

This is absolutely delicious. I made it for St Patrick's Day and served it in cordial glasses. It goes into my permanent file. The only substitution I made was to use real whipping cream as opposed to the nondairy creamer, and I only added 1 cup of brandy. Again, very good!
