This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 2)

• Cheryl's Recipe Corner!

• Irish Cream

• Description
  • Russ and I occasionally venture into the world of making flavored liquor (like Amaretto, Kahlua, etc).  While we have not ventured into Irish Cream, YET, this is a recipe that has been stashed backed with tons of fantastic reviews.  It is definitely a recipe open to alterations.  And, taste as you go... it might be too sweet for your preference.  Only add 1 can sweetened condensed milk originally, then add more as you deem necessary

• Ingredients
  • 1 (750 milliliter) bottle Irish whiskey (You can substitute bourbon or brandy for the liquor, if you so choose.  Or use some flavored Crown Royal, maybe splitting it with something else... or using up an almost empty bottle)
  • 10 ounces melted milk chocolate chips (you can substitute butterscotch, peanut butter or vanilla chips; if using semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, it will make the Irish Cream less sweet; or use 3-4 tablespoons chocolate syrup)
  • 1 or 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
  • 2-1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules (or 1/2 cup of double strength brewed coffee)
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Teaspoon Almond Extract

• Directions
  • Pour a small amount of whiskey into a large bowl. In the top of a double boiler, melt chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth (skip this step if using chocolate syrup.  To skip double boiler completely, heat a small amount of milk with chocolate chips in the microwave until melted, in 10-15 second increments between stirring.  WATCH CAREFULLY to keep from scorching). Mix melted chocolate with whiskey in the bowl. Gradually stir in sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Stir in cream, instant coffee granules (or brewed coffee), and remaining whiskey. Pour mixture into three 750-milliliter bottles, seal, and store in the refrigerator. Let rest, without consuming, for at least 1 month before use.  Gently shake bottle every few days to keep everything mixed up. To serve: shake the bottle well; serve in small glasses over crushed ice. Yield: *3* 750-milliliter bottles
