Irish Cream


Homemade Irish cream recipe to try and oh my its is delicious and loads better than a certain brand you can buy in the shop.

I am wondering which is cheaper home made or shop bought, here is the costing and ingredients to find out if it is cheaper.

The most expensive part is the whisky at £8.19 and i used the whole bottle  or 2 cups worth
Cream £2 but i used 2 cup fulls which came to £1
Carnation cream £1 for the whole tin used
1 tsp of coffee 5p
1 tsp vanilla paste 5p

total cost £10.29 but i got 2 litres of Irish cream and the branded shop bought Irish cream was £12.99 for only 70cl.  The home made Irish cream won on taste hands down.  Even Ali who kept saying don't bother making it as it wont be as nice as the shop stuff was more impressed with the home made version and was licking his lips and looking for more.

If your wondering how to make it just stick all the ingredients into a liquidiser and blitz for a few mins.

keep in sterile bottles in the fridge if it lasts that long.

  2. I absolutely love Irish Cream. And Yes, usually it's the you know what brand. I don't think it would have mattered if it cost more to home make, what it tastes like is more important. Double bonus then if home not only cost less but tasted better too. I may just have to try your recipe! Tx
