This recipe is about 12% alcohol, add more whiskey if you prefer something stronger. If you prefer something lighter, sub the canned coconut milk for almond milk or coconut milk from a carton. For something more chocolatey, add a touch more cocoa. For more of a coffee liqueur, double the amount of instant coffee in the recipe. If you want to use it as a boozy compliment to coffee, you might prefer it a little sweeter. After blending, allow the flavours to mix for at least a few hours before serving (overnight is best!) A blend of homemade cashew milk and coconut milk makes for a creamy, neutral base that won’t immediately announce itself as either COCONUT or CASHEW - just dairy-free creamy goodness.Īdd all the ingredients to your blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. To make vegan Irish cream, you’ll need homemade cashew milk (recipe below), canned coconut milk, Irish whiskey, sweetener (I used granulated sugar), a touch of cocoa, instant coffee, and pure vanilla. A lot of homemade recipes use sweetened condensed milk and skip any added sugar.

This cream liqueur traditionally contains Irish whiskey, dairy cream, a sweetener, and flavouring ingredients like coffee, cocoa, and vanilla. Today I’m sharing a veganized recipe for Irish cream. With its creamy texture, sweetness, comforting notes of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla, and soul-soothing warmth of Irish whiskey, it’s a true grown-up indulgence.
