The first recipe is very close to the one I’ve used for years, I can vouch that it’s excellent! The only thing different is I add whipping cream too and substitute almond extract in place of coconut.
In my younger days I think we darn near wore out a blender we made this so often! LOL
mmmm whipping cream, now that’s sounds good too! I can just picture you working that blender Kansas A, lol!
My wife and I have made this recipe for quite a while now and we really enjoy it. We don’t use raw eggs, instead we use an egg substitute like egg beaters. You can get this relatively cheap from your local Aldie’s (grocery discount store). Also, we use Rum in the recipe instead of Whiskey. BE SURE TO CHILL THE BATCH FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS BEFORE SERVING. No ice needed that way
OH MY!!! I can’t wait to go tomorrow and get the ingredients to make this! I love B*ileys!!
I think I’d prefer the almond extract – thanks for the tip. I’m a big Irish Cream fan and am delighted to have this recipe! Thanks for sharing, everyone!
I would like to make this…..However, I don’t know about the raw eggs, or the eggs substitute…??……..I would like to leave that out….What do you think…??
I have made this with the egg substitute. The “egg beaters” are pasturized and that way you don’t have to worry about getting sick, where as even if you use fresh eggs, you still have that worry.
This is a good recipe but I prefer to substitute Scotch for Irish Whiskey. Gives a wee kick to it but doesn’t really change the flavour. I find single malt Scotch is the best.
