This homemade Irish Cream recipe is much simpler than other recipes. And the result is an Irish Cream with perfect flavor and texture!
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.)
This homemade Irish Cream recipe will yield between 2½ - 3 cups of liqueur (depending on how much the cream reduces during the steeping stage).
