I've been making a recipe similar to this for years. The only difference was instead of the cup of heavy cream, my recipe calls for 1 cup of light cream. Everything else was identical, down to the amounts. I don't buy the bottled stuff any more, this is so much better.

This has to be the best yet. I took the advice of some of the people...little less whiskey and less almond extract, as well as not skimping on the heavy cream. I have gotten rave reviews. Look forward to having this at our upcoming 4th of July party!

This has been a favorite recipe of mine for years! I especially love to bring it as a gift to give to the hostess at holiday parties! As others have suggested, I too like to reduce the amount of almond extract to about 1/4 tsp. and then add a 1/4 tsp. of coconut extract as well. PLEASE...DO NOT USE HALF AND HALF, OR MILK! Especially not skim milk! Irish Cream is meant to be a rich, creamy, decadant drink, and in my opinion, doing that really takes away from that. But to each his own! Also, I do usually reduce the amount of whiskey to about a cup or just a tad over that. Using the full amount listed here is fine if you like it strong!

Wow- first batch lasted 4 days- made without the almond extract. The whiskey needs to mellow for a day or two before first use. Very glad I tried this recipe- easy to make and will save me some money. I used Jamesons whiskey.

I used Jamesons with this recipe. Maybe next time I'll use Bushmills. This recipe is very good. But on my second batch I only used one tablespoon of chocalate...used a hair less than a teaspoon of almond extract...it was a little overbearing...and a hair more than a teaspoon of coffee crystals. It was much closer to the Original Baileys. Otherwise its awesome.

This taste great. I've also made a low fat version using fat free cream and fat free sweetend condensed milk. Not as tasty as the original but still enjoyable without the guilt.

This. Is. Awesome. Most of what I used in this recipe I bought at a discount grocery store on the cheap. I didn't have almond extract, so I used two tsp. of vanilla extract. I whipped everything together in my KitchenAid mixer, using my whipping tool. Very good. Very smooth. And has quite a kick. I won't ever buy pre-made irish cream ever again. Or I won't have to wait until Christmas to get homemade irish cream from my MIL's boyfriend. ;)

YUM! I used 2 cups of whole milk, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, cut the almond extract in half, a touch more whiskey, doubled the chocolate, vanilla and coffee, and it came out great! Easy to tweak if you prefer a little more of less of any of the flavors. I'll never buy Bailey's in the bottle again!

Whew...this is really good but STRONG!!!and i cut back the whiskey to 1 1/2c. The flavor is great as is. I definitely would NOT susbstitute milk or 1/2/1/2 either as you need the richness to make this work. I took it to a church irish dinner and boy was it a hit.

The first time I made this recipe I didn't have any almond extract. I added 1/2 tsp more vanilla and 1/4 tsp coconut extract as someone else had suggested. It came out beautiful-everyone who tried it LOVED it--5 stars. After picking up some almond extract I decided to make another batch strictly using the recipe. WAAAYY too much almond! It's all I could taste. Even when I added just a little bit of this cream to my coffee the almond flavor was overpowering. Cut back the almond to 1/4 tsp at most or substitute something else if you plan on making this.

Awesome! I gave small bottles of this away at Christmas and everyone loved it. I used light cream and low fat sweetened condensed milk and it still tasted great. Next time I'll dissolve the coffee granules in a tiny bit of warm water. They didn't like trying to dissolve in the cold.

I followed this recipe - but changed a few things to cut back on fat and cals. I changed the heavy cream for skim milk, used 1 cup of Canadian Mist instead of Irish Whiskey, and 1/4 tspn. of almond extract as other members have suggested. Needless to say - it was sssooo good - we re making it again tomorrow.

MMmmmmmm! I did cut the whiskey amount to only 1 1/2 cups but it still turned out great. We kept in a canning jar and shook up before using. Was delicious on the rocks and in coffee.
