Thanks for that, will give it a try!

Does anyone else have a prob with random numbers all over this particular page? Str4berr3's last post said 597 eggs the first time i came into this thread, now the numers are all over the screen! Prob my laptop playing up again!

Trying the home made stuff already I see.

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

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

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
