Submitted by BeachGirl

"A smooth, creamy liqueur, like Bailey's, that melts in your mouth. It makes great gifts during the holidays! I have kept it refrigerated for up to 3 months, and it was still delicious!"

So easy to make and taste so good. I used it in recipe #70644. Delicious. Thanks for a great recipe.

I made it a tad healthier with evaporated milk instead of cream. The flavor was terrific and any lack of creaminess was caused by my changes.

This was ok, but when I took out the eggs and used a good brandy instead, I much preferred it. I used to adore Irish Cream but over the years it got to be too much and was in too many things where it didn't belong at times so I purchase something similar made with brandy called Cask and Cream. This is personal taste and no reflection on a wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing! Scotch whiskey, Scottish are the people Mirj hehehehe! :)) My dad would have wanted me to fix that. Don't blame me, the dad made me do it! LOL All in good fun!

10 stars. It doesn't taste just like Baileys but it is as good as Baileys.

Whenever anyone in our family goes on a trip abroad, the first thing on the list is a visit to the Duty Free to get a bottle of Irish Cream. We love this stuff! I guess we're going to put the local airport's Duty Free out of business, because this stuff is as close as you can get to the real thing! I even cheated a bit and used some Irish Cream flavored instant coffee. The bottle is sitting there in my fridge, and I don't know if it's going to last the month before we can properly use it. I also have a confession to make, I used some Scottish whiskey, so does that make this Scottish cream?
