Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups milk whole
- vanilla seeds from 1 pod
- 1 ounce cacao nibs 1/4 cup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt sea salt
- 1/2 ounce coffee freshly coarse-ground, 3 tablespoons
- 1 3/4 cups Irish whiskey example: Bushmills Black Bush
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Sterilize a reusable glass bottle and cap by boiling it in hot water.
- In a small saucepan, bring the milk, vanilla seeds, and cacao nibs to a simmer. Hold it at a gentle simmer, just so there are a few bubbles here and there, for 30 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer. Return the liquid to the pan along with the sugar and salt and gently simmer until it's reduced by about half, so you should have about 2 cups total, which may take as long as an hour. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a minute or so.
- Add the coffee to the milk mixture, stir well, and let rest for 5 minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or tea strainer and then let cool completely.
- Stir the whiskey into the milk mixture. Pour it into a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan and slowly and steadily pour in the cream as you blitz the mixture for 20 seconds.
- Stop the blender, pour the finished lrish cream into the sterilized bottle, and then seal it. Tuck it in the fridge until chilled through.
Notes
- Storage--Keep Irish cream refrigerated. It should keep for up to 2 months.
- Serving--Shake well before serving. The liqueur can be served straight, over ice, in coffee, or as part of a cocktail or dessert.
