Easy Irish Cream Food

EASY IRISH CREAM

Steps:

HOMEMADE IRISH CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making this Irish cream recipe, mix the cream with the coffee grounds, cocoa powder, and vanilla, and place into a large wide-bottomed saucepan. Heat the cream over medium heat until it begins to steam (but before it begins to simmer). Reduce the heat as necessary to hold the cream at this temperature for 20 minutes, stirring often. (The color of the cream will darken as it infuses with the coffee and chocolate.)
• After 20 minutes of steeping, remove the cream from the heat. Strain the cream through a fine-mesh strainer lined with a few layers of cheesecloth, to catch all the coffee grounds.
• Stir the honey into your strained cream. Then stir in the Irish whiskey.
• Stir the Irish Cream occasionally as it cools, uncovered, on the counter. Once cool, transfer it to a sealed container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur should be used within 2 months. If you won't use it within that time, I'd recommend freezing it to make some tasty Irish Cream ice cream. It will last a bit longer that way!

ORIGINAL IRISH CREAM

Steps:

• In a blender, combine heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, Irish whiskey, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Blend on high for 20 to 30 seconds. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving.

IRISH CREAM DREAM

Steps:

• Line the ramekins with plastic wrap creating a shell and leaving long flaps to cover the ramekins later. In a food processer, pulse gingersnap cookies with melted butter until small crumbs form for the crust. Press half the cookie crumb mixture, dividing evenly, firmly into the bottom of each ramekin. Reserve the other half of the crumb mixture for the topping.
• In a large bowl, whisk heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form. In a separate large bowl, add the espresso powder and condensed milk and blend until espresso powder is dissolved. Whisk in Irish cream then fold in whipped cream. Pour evenly into the ramekins. Top with remaining gingersnap crumbs and cover with the extra plastic wrap, pressing to compact mixture. Freeze until set, about 5 hours. To serve, remove plastic wrap from top and then gently turn ramekins over to release dessert onto a serving plate. Gently remove plastic wrap.

SEMI-HOMEMADE IRISH CREAM

Steps:

• In the container of an electric blender, combine cream, evaporated milk, condensed milk, whiskey, chocolate syrup and coffee; process until smooth. Let chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
