Instead of going to the store to buy some Bailey’s, try your hand at making your own. It was quite easy and very good!
1. In a small bowl, mix together the espresso, cocoa powder, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and 3 Tablespoons of heavy cream. Stir until dissolved and set aside.
2. Pour all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl, then add the cocoa espresso mixture.
3. Use an immersion blender to incorporate all ingredients together for 20-30 seconds until your mixture is smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender a traditional blender on pulse or puree will work as well.
4. Pour it into your favorite sealable containers. Let the drink sit overnight for all the flavors to blend together.
5. Be sure to give it a good shake before using and enjoy your homemade Irish cream for up to 2 months. Store in refrigerator.

Wow! This is great. I looked at a lot of Irish cream recipes and settled on this one. So glad I did. I am making my second batch tonight.
Just made a double batch of this for NYE and it was a HIT! Thanks so much for the recipe – will definitely be keeping this in my arsenal of go-to drinks!

I am simply boggled–I had no idea one could make one’s own Irish Cream! Can’t wait to try this. However, could you recommend a specific brand of Irish whiskey? I don’t know enough about it to make a wise choice.
