My copycat version of the creamy Bailey’s Irish Cream drink uses coffee in addition to the cocoa flavoring found in the original.
This sweet, milky, somewhat- chocolate drink is heaven on earth mixed with a splash to your coffee.
You can pour it over ice cream, use it for baked goods (cakes, muffins, donuts, cupcakes, brownies, pies, etc.), or give it as a gift for holidays and special occasions.
Above all, it’s divine on its own over ice.

Tips for Making Homemade Baileys Irish Cream
- Firstly, mix the coffee granules with 2 tablespoons of boiling water and stir until dissolved.
- Please note that some blenders (particularly the powerful ones) can curdle the mixture slightly as they ‘whip’ the cream. To prevent this, start your blender at a very low speed and increase gradually to medium/low.
- Finally, use a cream that does not easily curdle or whip
