    I went to a party and tried someones homemade Baileys. It was really nice. It had condensed milk and whiskey in it as well as other things. Wished I'd taken the recipe. Any ideas?

    Or try this ...

    ISLE OF ISLAY CREAM

    Makes approx. 1 litre

    INGREDIENTS

    400g tin of condensed milk
    170g tin of evaporated milk (eg. "Ideal")
    250ml carton of UHT long-life single cream
    250ml of Scotch whisky
    Coffee essence (eg. "Camp") to taste

    METHOD

    Pour the milk and cream into a 1 litre jug or bowl. Use the whisky to wash out the milk and cream containers, then add it to the bowl. Add the coffee essence. Mix together.
     
    PS. Don't ask how long this will keep for. I don't know. It has never stayed around long enough to go off.

    oooh I made this for Christmas and actually have some left in the fridge. Wonder if I dare drink it? Surely the whisky would act as preservative?? I made it v strong. :rotfl:

    hi everyone , ive made homemade baileys for years as xmas pressies....

    hicup ...cooks treat .....hick up :rotfl:

    found the recipe when looking for a baileys cheese cake recipe , think it was called copycat baileys ....no raw eggs for those that are iffy about them

    any way the origional called for cream which imo made it way too thick n heavy , leaving you full after a glass , when blending the cream collects air making it too whiped desserty for me

    so i tweeked it just a little :rolleyes:


    half bottle cheap whiskey , value stuff is fine bout 350mls

    can of condensed milk , netto do their own version about 50p cheaper than nestle

    300 mls of milk , full fat make it creamier without being too thick

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 teaspoon almond extract

    i teaspoon of coffee essence

    2 tablespoon of dark choclate sauce ( the stuff for icecream in squirty bottles

    2 tablespoons of toffee sauce same as above

    this is a really nice recipe and it packs a punch that kinda sneaks up on you ......

    can be easily adjusted to suit ,

    i like mine with more coffee ...oopps did i put two teaspoons in :rotfl:

    my OH likes it more choclatey

    if you like it thick ,use half cream n half milk

    was planning on doing a mint version by just adding mint essence

    this makes a litre of baileys , so make sure your blender is big enough ,

    i fill it into a standard 700ml bottle and drink the leftovers as they dont fit :p

    hence the night i make my batches im sozzled :rotfl:

    cost using value whiskey and cheap condensed milk should be about
    £5.00 per litre when making 5 bottles , ie 2 bottle whiskey , 5 cans condensed , plus others should cost £25 and make 5 standard 700ml bottles , if you dont drink the leftovers :D

    it last 2 months in the fridge and will need a good shake before drinking

    :beer: hope you try and enjoy , :beer:

    just had a thought ...dont anyone say thats a miricle either :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    what about an orange flavoured choclate sauce , would that go , :rolleyes:

    probably best to leave out the coffee and almond essence if your going to experi "mint " with different flavours though ie orange and mint

    Do you think making it without eggs would increase the lifespan?
