I make this every winter, and I change up the alcohol by using rum or spiced whiskey. I’m sad that Veratrine F. didn’t like it, but if you’re on the fence, give it a shot! Great in coffee or over ice cream....

Just made it after reading the recipe but not the comments. Glad I did. I used half the condensed milk, sub'd some cashew milk, unsweetened, doubled the espresso powder and a liberal "splash" of light agave. On my second glass now. Oh, I used a rather expensive small batch bourbon - 1792 Small Batch.
I typically don't buy "name brand" Irish cremes but I do drink the Buffalo Trace now and again. This is close to their recipe, IMNSHO.

I tried this--it is only for those who need alcohol to justify their habit of drinking sweetened condensed milk. Sweetened condensed milk has its place, I suppose. In fudge, maybe. But this was undrinkable--I poured it (and $8, and my bitter tears) down the drain.

Condensed condolences to Veratrine Flipflop. Grateful s/he did the heavy [cream] lifting so I don't have to. I was going to try it. Love Bailey's, but it's so full of additives.

Sorry that was not working for you. I have tried similar recipe, but it ask to let it sit in the fridge for 3-5 days so the flavors would meld together. It does taste better after several days. I like Irish cream and had been buying them for awhile - Irish cream is good as ingredients in indulgent cafe latte, as topping for ice cream, or as sauce for chocolate pudding/mousse.
