• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp instant coffee or espresso
• ½ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Irish Whiskey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

 

• Put a tablespoon of the cream in a bowl and add the espresso and cocoa powder. Mix these together until both powders are completely dissolved and there are no lumps.
• Add rest of the cream, while stirring or gently whisking.Add the whiskey, vanilla, and condensed milk and blend everything well.
• Pour the mixture into a bottle with a top, and refrigerate until needed. This will keep in the fridge for at least a couple of months.

Notes

To lighten up use half and half instead of heavy cream.

Add more espresso or more cocoa powder to change the flavor profile.
