    Baileys Irish Cream Whiskey reminds me of winter and celebrations. Tis the season!

    I actually created this recipe last year and 'lo and behold', Christmas was over before I got it on the blog.

    Bet you're not surprised. Everything is so busy during the holidays - fun but busy ... and fast!

    Happily, the holidays are here again and I am determined to pass on this rich, creamy, sweet vegan recipe before it is too late. It's an extravagant drink that is great to sip.

    You can leave out the alcohol and just have Irish Cream but I went all out and made a partylicious libation.

    Whiskey or Whisky

    Have you seen the word whiskey spelled whisky and whiskey?  Well, I found out what that's all about. It is actually correct both ways but spelled differently in different countries.

    Here in the United States, it is with an e before the y. Scotland has no e at all.

    The way I remember it is that the United States is spelled with an e included and Scotland is not. I'll never get it wrong again.

    This vegan Baileys Irish Cream Whiskey is like a dessert in itself. I can't even think of what you could pair it with.

    Chocolate would complement it but you would be on sweets overload. So let's just sip.

    Please let me know in the comments if you have any ideas or traditions surrounding Bailey's Irish Cream Whiskey pairings.

    Oh! Sipping isn't the only reason to make this treat. I have some Bailey's Irish Cream Whiskey recipes and these decadent cookies are just one of them. Irish Cream Chocolate Cookies are the perfect Christmas cookie.

    Did I forget to mention that this Irish Cream is dairy-free? Yes! Dairy-free and made with whole fat coconut milk. The kind that comes in a can.

    Sometimes the can says coconut cream but the truth is in the nutrition list. The fat content is anywhere between 17% and 22%. I've seen some of the content higher lately but 17% to 22% is best.

    A few ingredients measured, mixed, and voila!

    If you mix in a blender at high speed and keep it going for a while you can get a mildly frothy drink. It's like you mixed the drink with whipped cream.

    Ingredients

    • Coconut cream or coconut milk from a can makes this treat nice and creamy.
    • Maple syrup is that healthy sweetener that we all love.
    • Vanilla extract adds so much flavor to the mix.
    • Use Unsweetened cocoa powder in a very small quantity.
    • Instant coffee adds another level of flavors.
    • Irish Whiskey for sure.

    Instructions

    • Put the first 6 ingredients in a blender. That's everything except the whiskey.
    • Blend until creamy and smooth. It takes less than a minute.
    • Add the Irish whiskey and stir.
    • Pour over ice and sip to your heart's content.

    I wanted to repeat this in case you missed it up above.

    *If you mix in a blender at high speed and keep it going for a while you can get a mildly frothy drink that needs to stirring. It's like you mixed the drink with whipped cream.

      No not sweetened Jessica. Not the coconut cream for coffee but the coconut cream in the cans. They are in the International cooking area with Asiam products and if you have a vegan or vegetarian area they may be in that section.

      It will stay in the fridge for about 4 to 5 days. Shake well before pouring.

      I can't wait to make this for the holidays! Do I use the instant coffee granules?

      That's what I had initially done but now I've been using a ground coffee that I like the flavor of better. It's just a personal preference there and should be fine either way.

    For years I dabbled in cooking vegan food, but since I became a mom it has become more important for me than ever. What I’m after is a great collection of healthy and not time-consuming vegan recipes that make the whole family look forward to meals together.
