I've been making this since 1995, when my first room mate gave me the recipe. It's amazing!!! And EASY!!!!

The recipe calls for half and half. You can use light cream, but it will be really thick! DO NOT USE HEAVY CREAM!! You will end up with pudding, lol! Half and half makes it just the right consistency and thickness.

Home made Bailey’s Irish Cream

2 c. half and half
1 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. instant coffee
1 beaten egg yolk
1/2 c. - 2/3 c. Irish Whiskey
1/4 c. - 1/3 c. rum
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Dash of cinnamon

Put cream, sweetened condensed milk and instant coffee and egg yolk in a pot and whisk together. Heat till coffee disolves making sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot like pudding does. Boil for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and add rum, whiskey, chocolate syrup, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir and enjoy. Serve chilled or warm over ice cubes.
