Homemade Dairy Free Irish Cream

Check the notes area for how to make the dairy free sweetened condensed milk - there are ready-made dairy free options available and I will link those, but I found it easier (and cheaper) to make my own.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup heavy dairy free whipping cream (I used Country Crock Plant Cream but you can also use 8 oz heavy coconut cream, Silk also makes one)
• 14 oz dairy free sweetened condensed milk (see my *note* for homemade but also check out these options: Nature's Farm Sweetened Condensed Oat Milk, Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk )
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup Irish Whiskey (Jameson) - more or less depending on your preference

Instructions

1. Whisk the cocoa powder and a spoonful of cream together in the bottom of a 4-cup pyrex or pitcher and form a paste.
2. Gradually whisk in the remaining cream, keeping a smooth consistency as you go.
3. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, taste test, and adjust to taste.
4. Transfer into a 32 oz mason jar or into smaller mason jars to give as gifts!

Notes

I adapted this recipe from Smitten Kitchen for the Irish Cream.

To make your own Dairy Free Sweetened Condensed Milk:

• 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk - the creamiest you can find. I use Elmhurst Cashew
• 3/4 cup cane sugar
• 4 tbsp salted vegan butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

1. In medium sauce pan over medium-low heat whisk the milk and sugar together.
2. Bring to a low simmer, whisking often until milk reduces by half - about 30 minutes
3. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Allow to cool completely before transferring to a mason jar or adding to your Irish Cream recipe.
