HOMEMADE BAILEYS RECIPE

This is another alcoholic recipe - for a drink very reminiscent of Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur.



I was given this by a delightful lady who said I could reproduce it... as long as she remained anyonymous!

HOME-MADE IRISH CREAM
By Anonymous
This makes about 5 cups.

1 - 2 cups of any of the following: Whisky, Brandy, Dark Rum

1 can sweetened condensed milk (eg: Carnation) OR 2 cups home-made condensed milk recipe
Do not subsitute evaporated milk - it doesn't work!

1 cup (half pint) whipping cream

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

METHOD

Whip the cream in a blender until frothy and smooth, then slowly add the condensed milk, alchohol, chocolate syrup and vanilla essence.

Blend for another 2 minutes.

Keep in the fridge and shake before serving.

HOME-MADE CONDENSED MILK RECIPE
This is equal to one can of condensed milk.

1 cup plus 2 tablespoonsful of instant dry milk powder

1 cup warm water

1 cup sugar

METHOD

Mix milk powder and water together thoroughly, and stir in a double boiler or Bain Marie (a pyrex bowl stood in a pan of simmering water) and bring to the boil.
You need to use a Bain Marie as instant milk powder boiled directly in a saucepan will curdle.

Add the sugar gradually, stirring until dissolved.

Allow to cool, then store in the fridge. Whilst stored in the fridge, the mixture thickens naturally and has a very long shelf life (months!)

Serve in your best cut crystal glasses and enjoy!
