This homemade Baileys is smooth, creamy, and ready in less than 5 minutes.
Ingredients for Homemade Baileys
You need only 5 ingredients to make this homemade Baileys Irish cream.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk thickens and sweetens the mixture.
- Light Cream makes this creamy, balances out the sweetness from the condensed milk.
- Whiskey is the alcohol in Irish Cream. My first choice is an Irish whiskey like Jameson, but an inexpensive brand works just as well.
- Flavor Instant coffee or instant espresso and pure vanilla extract add flavor. Other optional additions include cocoa powder, almond extract, or chocolate syrup.
Irish cream contains alcohol, but this copycat Baileys recipe can be made without alcohol.
Skip the whiskey and add a teaspoon or so of rum extract or whiskey extract. Extracts can vary by brand so add a little at a time to reach the desired flavor!
Storage
As long as your cream is fresh, homemade Baileys will last about 2 weeks in the fridge.
If you’re gifting this, be sure to include a little note reminding them to pop it in the fridge!

This easy recipe is inspired by versions in the McNab Family Cookbook, a little self-published cookbook. The book contains 3 homemade Irish Cream liqueur recipes in my little book with different ingredients (raw eggs, chocolate syrup, and rum). I combined the parts I liked best to create this delicious recipe.
