Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Ireland
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Irish whiskey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of Irish whiskey, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee granules (if using).
- In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to gently beat the cream until it begins to thicken. You want it to be slightly thickened but not fully whipped.
- Add the Irish whiskey to the bowl with the thickened cream, followed by the maple syrup. The maple syrup will add a delightful sweetness and flavor to your creamer.
- Next, add the vanilla extract to the mixture. This will enhance the overall flavor profile of your homemade Baileys.
- If you choose to include the instant coffee granules for a coffee-flavored twist, sprinkle them into the mixture now. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Continue to mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture.
- Once combined, taste the mixture to adjust sweetness or flavor as desired. You can add more maple syrup or vanilla extract if you prefer a sweeter or more aromatic creamer.
- Transfer the finished Irish coffee creamer into a clean glass jar or bottle for storage. Seal it tightly and refrigerate.
- Your Maple Syrup Sweetened Irish Coffee Creamer is now ready to use! Shake well before each use, and enjoy it in your favorite coffee or cocktails.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your whiskey and cream, the more luxurious your creamer will taste.
- Chill your ingredients beforehand for a smoother mixing process.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace whiskey with additional cream or milk.
- Store in an airtight container and consume within 7-10 days for maximum freshness.
- Experiment with different maple syrup grades – darker grades offer more intense flavor.
- Use an electric mixer for the most consistent texture and incorporation of ingredients.
- For a more intense coffee flavor, use freshly ground coffee granules instead of instant.
- Always shake well before use to re-blend any separated ingredients.
