Honestly, if something begins with chocolate I’m definitely on board! I rushed to the kitchen to see if I had all the ingredients…and I do! I’ll be back…later…maybe! 😉

This Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur is so rich and it’s a wonderful after-dinner treat. It also stores great in the fridge and makes excellent presents!
I don’t have a huge sweet tooth but I have been known to have a small after dinner drink and sometimes I like that drink to be sweet!
But, I also like whiskey so this homemade Irish cream liqueur is my dream after-dinner cocktail. Plus, you’ll be shocked at how easy it is to put together.
Step one is just to melt the chocolate! The trick here is to melt it slowly and add a little whiskey to it as it melts to thin it out. I like to use a double boiler for this.
Then just stir in the other ingredients. Doesn’t get much easier than that!
This stuff should keep great in the fridge for up to a month. Just give it a good shake before serving it.
Obviously, if it smells “off” at all then you should probably toss it, but the booze will actually keep it stable for longer than normal!
Personally, I like it served over ice. Or add to hot chocolate or coffee for a delicious warm cocktail
YUM!
