Ingredients

• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Whiskey (Irish whiskey preferred)
• 0.5 cup Milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Almond extract
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the milk chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Take care not to overheat or scorch the chocolate.

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the cooled chocolate mixture, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, whiskey, espresso powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, and pinch of salt.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on low speed for 30-60 seconds until fully combined and smooth. Avoid over-blending, as excessive blending can cause the cream to thicken too much.

Step 5

Taste the mixture and adjust the whiskey quantity to your liking if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the Chocolate Irish Cream to a clean glass bottle or airtight container. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to chill for at least 4 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Shake well before serving. Enjoy as a standalone drink over ice, as a coffee creamer, or use it as a base for cocktails!
