Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup 235 ml heavy or whipping cream
- 1 14-oz. or 415 ml can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup 235 ml Irish whiskey (I used Jameson)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon instant espresso or coffee powder if you like a light coffee flavor. Add the espresso with the cocoa whisking the cream slowly as per the directions.
Instructions
- Put the cocoa powder in a small glass measuring cup and mash out any small lumps. Whisk the cocoa powder with a spoonful of cream. It will forma a very thick paste.
- Add more cream a spoon full at a time until the paste is smooth and loose enough that you can whisk in more cream.
- Add the cocoa and cream in a pitcher and whisk in the remaining cream.
- Whisk in the condensed milk, whiskey, and vanilla.
- Cover with lid or plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator.
- Will keep in refrigerator for two months.
- Serve chilled in a small glass or add ice. You can also add it to coffee. Top with a sprinkle of cocoa if you like more of a chocolate taste.
Notes
*If you want to make it less sweet add more cream and more whiskey, 1 Tablespoon at a time.
*If you want to make it less boozy, add more cream and condensed milk, 1 Tablespoon at a time.
*If you like it stronger -- you know what to do.
*Since this is an alcoholic beverage plus a dessert we're not including calorie count.
