Homemade Vegan Irish Cream – a quick and easy vegan recipe for everyone’s favorite – Irish Cream! perfect in a hot cup of coffee on a snowy morning…
Homemade Vegan Irish Cream
In my family, my mom makes the homemade Kahlúa and I make the homemade Baileys.
I have shared this recipe here before, but it now resides with the other lost socks posts from my self hosting move. I made a batch of Baileys in November, right before we left for Mexico to drink nothing but tequila.
I had some left to welcome me home right before Christmas.
Years ago, Jason and I got hooked on Baileys and coffee in Vegas. I had to stay alert for our six hour stints at the craps table, so coffee it was!
On the plane to go home, we were waiting for takeoff and the attendant came around for drink orders. We were the last in our section to be asked, and both of us ordered Baileys and coffees.
People started turning around and saying they wanted to change their order – pretty soon everyone in the section was drinking Baileys and coffee. One guy was a hold out, still wanting a Jager shot they did not have.
I’m pretty sure I told that story the last time I posted this recipe.

Whiskey is not gluten free
Kristina Sloggett says
“According to the National Institutes of Health’s Celiac Disease Awareness Campaign, distilled alcohol is inherently gluten-free. This includes gin, vodka, scotch whisky, and rye whiskey. Although whiskeys are derived from wheat, barley, or rye, the distilling process removes the gluten proteins.”

Oooh I’m going to try making this with white whiskey! I can’t drink brown liquors but used to love Irish cream. It would be so nice to have it back in rotation.
