Equipment

  • High Powered Blender
  • Lidded glass bottles or jars

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant espresso
  • 1 cup cream
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Irish whiskey optional

Instructions

  • Combine the cocoa powder and espresso powder in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of hot water. Whisk to combine until a smooth sauce is formed.
  • Add this mixture to a blender along with the remaining ingredients. If you plan to omit the Irish whiskey and make this non-alcoholic, note that the amount that the recipe will yield will be less, and also the texture will be much thicker.
  • Blend until fully combined. Decant into as glass bottle or several smaller bottles for gifts. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
