Home Made Bailey's


This is a drink to die for... so easy to make, ready in 20 minutes and best of all you don't have to wait for weeks to mature. The minute you finished making it, you can drink it but tastes better if you can chill it for a few hours. It will last in the fridge at least 1 month. Makes a perfect present for Christmas, birthdays or any occasion. All you need to do, do not throw your brandy or whisky bottles especially the ones with nice shapes and cork tops, remove the label with hot water. I promise you, once you try this you will never want to buy from shops ever again. Ohhh, did I also mention that this is not only taste better but much cheaper...

Ingredients

75 gr dark chocolate (I use %70 cocoa, Green&Blacks organics, half a bar)
1 cup of strong coffee made with 1 tbsp good quality coffee (250 ml)
1 tsp vanilla extract (use good quality ones)
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tin of evaporated milk (I use light )
1 tin condensed milk (light)
250 ml whisky (more or less, depends how you like it)

First melt the chocolate, I don't even bother with bain-marie or microwave, I just add chocolate in small pieces to very hot coffee, whisk it well , then pour it in a big bowl to mix everything. Add 1 by 1 all the rest of the ingredients doesn't matter in which order. Mix it well, I use hand blender at this stage to make sure everything mixes smoothly. Pour it in the bottle, keep it in the fridge at all time. It makes one and a half a bottle if you use 750ml ones. Don't forget to say "Cheers Esin" when you drink it :)))
