Homemade Irish cream liqueur & more must-see videos

Baileys (you know, that creamy whiskey-based drink that used to only come out at Christmas) has experienced a huge comeback. You’ve only got to look at some of our most popular recipes to see how beloved it is by Aussies (we’re looking at you, Baileys cheesecake).

Our expert foodies love experimenting in the kitchen. They also love nothing more than making concoctions with condensed milk. So imagine their delight when they realised that they could actually turn sweetened condensed milk into… Irish cream!

Don’t worry, they’re sharing their secrets with us all.

How to make your own version of Baileys at home

This homemade Irish cream liqueur is inspired by classic Baileys. It has a slight hint of chocolate and vanilla and is just as sweet and creamy as the original.

The best thing about this recipe is that it only requires 5 ingredients. Truly the gift that keeps on giving…

Ahhh, such a classic flavour, but what else can we do with it?

It’s no secret that everyone loves Baileys, and why wouldn’t they? It’s silky, sweet and has such an iconic taste. And our version is just as versatile. So the question on our minds is… how do we make this un-Bailey-vable recipe even better? (Sorry, we couldn’t resist a joke).

Our Food Director, Amira Georgy has a couple of great tips for this homemade Irish Cream Liqueur. She says she often serves it as an iced Baileys coffee, a biscoff Baileys hot chocolate, and obviously she’s got a heap of cocktail recipe recommendations.

Our most highly recommended cocktails…

Like with the iced coffee and hot chocolate, wherever you see Baileys being used, substitute your homemade dupe to create a cocktail that’s been made with a whole heap of love. Our top 3 picks are:

1. A Baileys ‘Mudslide’ – A creamy chocolate and coffee-flavoured cocktail
2. White Russian mousse – simply substitute the Tia Miara in the recipe for your Irish cream
3. This list wouldn’t be complete without a Baileys chocolate martini

The perfect edible gift

Yes, our version of Baileys makes the most perfect edible gift. But if the special person in your life isn’t into drinks, our Food Director once again has lots of ideas for food gifts. She recommends an indian spiced nut mix, beer-glazed nuts, a hot and spicy barbecue rub, and a homemade barbecue sauce recipe.

Isn’t it quicker to buy Baileys, though?

Actually, this recipe only takes 15 minutes to make and has an even deeper flavour. You’ll also find most of the ingredients in your pantry, making this tasty treat quicker to make than ducking down to the nearest Bottle-O.
