Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups Irish whiskey I used Jameson
- sweetened condensed milk one 14-ounce can
- 1 cup half-and-half I used half-and-half, or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup I used Hershey’s
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules make sure it’s instant so it dissolves, or instant espresso
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the canister of a blender and blend on high speed until smooth, 30 to 60 seconds.
- Transfer mixture to a glass bottle or airtight container with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months (I have read anywhere between 1 to 2 months; the alcohol helps preserve it, but always use the sniff test and common sense).
- Shake well before using.
