Combine Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, heavy whipping cream, whiskey, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk to a blender.
Blend Smoothly: Blend on a low setting for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Avoid over-blending to prevent curdling the cream.
Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner texture, add a splash of milk or cream and blend briefly. For a thicker Baileys, leave as is.
Pour and Store: Pour the mixture into a clean, sealable glass bottle or jar using a funnel for precision.
Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, shaking well before each use.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Baileys
Use high-quality whiskey for the best flavor; a smooth Irish whiskey like Jameson works wonders.
Ensure your blender is clean to avoid unwanted flavors mixing in.
Taste-test a small amount and adjust sweetness or whiskey to your preference before bottling.
Store in sterilized glass bottles to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
