Can you please tell me how much this recipe makes. Thanks
It makes enough to fill 3 whiskey bottles with 1-2 serves left to pour straight into glasses 😉
Hi Dinky, about 2 Litres, don’t drink it all at once! Goes great in Bailey’s Ice Cream or Bailey’s Fudge too
Hi Leonie …. can you use the home made condensed milk ? …. and is there a recipe for evaporated milk ? …. thanks Leanne
Hi Leanne, yes you sure can use home made condensed milk in your baileys. Sorry I don’t have a recipe for evaporated milk. I’ll have a look around for you and let you know if I can find one.
How long does it last (if you don’t drink it all at once) in the cupboard?
‘apparently’ Jocelyn it will be fine for 3 months – it should be kept in the fridge though because of the cream in it.
Hello this looks amazing, I am sooo getting all the ingredients tomorrow 🙂 Thanks for sharing it. Can you drink it straight away? Or does it have to ‘sit’ for awhile?? 🙂
You sure can drink it straight away Tracy! 🙂
Enjoy! 🙂
This recipe looks great I can’t wait to try it – thanks for sharing
I can’t wait for Christmas to make this for my friends, already made the baileys ice cream with some chocolate baileys yummy!!
I didn’t have any condensed milk so I used a can of caramel top n fill…perfect caramel Baileys
oh wow Linda!!! What an awesome idea! 🙂
Thanks so much!! Great recipe ! A bit sad I’m going to give it all away!! Might have to make a second batch! Recipe #367 on my road to 1000 🙂
Hi Just wondering if you can use other whisky or is jameson’s is the only one? I have a bottle of whisky in the cupboard I’d like to use up!
Hi Roxanne – yes you can use any whisky. Some people just have a preference for particular ones.
Hi just checking out your recipe and wondering what the purpose of the “wash” of the whisky? Thanks
Jenny the ‘wash’ just makes sure not a drop is wasted!!! 😉
Hi, is it okay to use normal Cadbury Milk chocolate instead of cooking chocolate? Don’t want to face the shops today!! Thanks for the recipe, Tracey
Yes definitely Tracey! 🙂
Can this recipe be halved?
Hi Nicki – I havent halved it – but it would work fine! 🙂
This is the best baileys recipe. Quick & early and tastes GREAT. Better than real baileys!!! Thank you!
Thanks Catmac! 🙂
Have just made another 2L batch of liquid gold!! Thank you for such a great easy recipe! Just thought I’d let you know that sometimes I sub in Butterscotch Scnapps for the whiskey and coffee to make a Caramel Baileys. Mmmm.. caramelllll 😉
What a great idea using Butterscotch Schnapps! 🙂
Am dying to make this but we don’t have any instant coffee in the house. Is there an equivalent for espresso?
Hi Lisa, I only have espresso too! I use one shot for each teaspoon. 🙂
Brilliant! Thank you 🙂
I got the grants whiskey- found it quite strong….do you think I should add more crewm & condensed milk
yes you could do that Belinda if you wish to make it a bit weaker. 🙂
Great I added another half a can of condensed milk and about 200ml of pure cream….was perfect on ice….
Awesome! So pleased it worked out for you! Yes ice is essential in my opinion too! 🙂
I’m finding it quite strong too.
I only have thickened cream left in the fridge. Can I use that or do I need to use the pure cream only?
Thickened cream is ok too Natalie – and yes just pour more cream in if you are finding it a bit strong.
Made this today for some Xmas gifts. Woah it packs a punch.
Thanks again Leonie for another amazing recipe!
Thanks Tara! 🙂 Remember to drink in moderation!!!! 😉
Thankyou for a wonderful recipe – I made a batch of this today and it was delicious 🙂 Admittedly I’m not a huge drinker, so I only added 300ml of Jamesons which was enough for me – still got the whiskey kick, but didn’t overpower the flavours. Next time I might add a bit more chocolate, or experiment with some flavoured schnapps or Top’n’Fill and see how it goes 🙂
I was alerted to your Baileys recipes via The 4 Blades, and made a batch each of the Baileys and the cranberry/pistachio fudge to give away as gifts – the fudge especially was a big hit. So I just made my second batch of the Baileys but made some alterations …. the original recipe wasn’t quite chocolatey enough for my taste and I thought the evaporated milk flavour came through – so this time, I used dark chocolate, and switched the canned milks around, adding 2 of condensed and 1 of evaporated (omitted the cream, as The 4 Blades suggested) … and oh my! Hope there’ll be some left for the intended recipients! Thanks for such an easy, amazing recipe.
Thanks Judith! I’ll have to try it with 2 cans of condensed milk and 1 can of evaporated milk next time I make it. Enjoy! 🙂
Will that make it last longer because of no cream
What an AWESOME recipe Leonie! HOW excited am I to have FINALLY made this as the first of many recipes for New Year hampers I am making! Based on the above, I went with 2 cans of condensed milk 395 ml each, 1 can evaporative milk , 375 ml, used Plaistowe dark chocolate and 310 ml of Jamisons! PERFECT! This made 10 mini milk bottles approximately 180 ml filled! DELICIOUS!
Thank you Joanne – it certainly is a very popular recipe! Awesome for gift giving too! 🙂
Hi,
Does anyone have a vegan recipe for Baileys?
Thanks
Linda
There are 2 vegan liqueurs in the File section on an FB Group called “Thermo Xmas Gift Ideas”
Hi everyone just wondering if thickened cream can be used or shall I omit all together and add a bit more condensed milk ? Can’t wait ?
Hi Katie, I’ve only ever used pure cream so I’m not sure. I’d say the thickened cream would make it a slightly thicker consistency. Only one way to find out though!! If you do try we’d love to know how it goes.
How long does this last?
Three months Vic stored in fridge. 🙂
Hi, what if don’t drink coffee – is there a substitute ? ?
If you don’t use fresh cream, as per one suggestion… can we store in the cupboard instead of the fridge??
Making tonight! Many thanks.
Jennine I’d rather play it safe and always store in fridge.
Some one suggested long life cream on another site….would that actually work? Has anyone tried that?
Delicious. One glass is never enough
lol! Yes totally agree Melanie! 🙂
Would Brandy work instead of whisky?
Hi Kelly, I haven’t tried with brandy. You could try half a batch and see how it goes. I’d love to hear what it’s like.
i used spiced rum, it was so yummy lol
I made this recipe last year for gift. Fantastic.
I recently made more and I have just realised I did not add the 300ml cream? Will it be ok, or can I just add the cream and mix well.
Many thanks
Ann
Hi Ann, just add the cream and mix and it will be ok! 🙂 Enjoy!
I made this tonight whilst waiting for dinner to cook. Wow wow wow ! I poured my husband and I a glass each , with ice of course , because that was what was left over. We absolutely loved it. I am now going to buy more ingredients and make a few small bottles as Xmas gifts. Fabulous and so easy. Thank you, thank you.
Fabulous to hear Julie! It sure does make great xmas gifts too! Every batch you make there is always a glass left over so you will get to drink lots of it!! haha!
Omg. Amazing! The ratings must be rigged, I almost wondered if I should try another recipe coz of it being 3.5 stars. Someone must’ve failed somehow?! Coz this is to die for. Thanks so much. I used good quality choc, Jameson’s and instead of instant coffee I did 2 shots of Nespresso (and used 4 tablespoons of it, so not quite the whole lot). So smooth..I don’t normally rate recipes, but I’m in heaven haha. And maybe a tad tipsy
So pleased you enjoyed it Sally! ENJOY!!!
In case you have some left after drinking … I have collated all my recipes using baileys in one blog post for you! 🙂
Absolutely delicious….. it went down so well at Christmas that I had to make another batch!!!!
lol! Great to hear Joy! Enjoy!
Super easy to make and really delicious. Makes heaps too.
Thank you Tess pleased you enjoyed it! 🙂
For a peppermint version, try using 2 blocks of cadburys peppermint chocolate instead. When it melts it turns into balls, but when you add the condensed milk it’ll dissolve perfectly. You might get away with using only 1 block, but I like the extra chocolatey flavour with the extra block of chocolate.
Thanks so much Jenay for leaving your comment. What a fabulous idea! 🙂
