Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 320 g vegan condensed milk
- 40 ml espresso
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or 2 tsp vanilla bean paste, or scraped-out vanilla pod)
- 2 teaspoons vegan chocolate syrup (or cocoa powder)
- 260 ml soy cream (or oat cream)
- 180 ml oat milk (or soy milk or almond milk)
- 250 ml Irish whiskey
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegan condensed milk, espresso, vanilla extract, and vegan chocolate syrup or cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add cream and milk: Pour in the soy cream and oat milk, and whisk thoroughly to integrate these creamy components into the base mixture for a rich texture.
- Incorporate the whiskey: Slowly drizzle the Irish whiskey into the mixture while continuously whisking to ensure a smooth, even blend without separation.
- Transfer and chill: Pour the combined mixture into a sealed glass bottle, mason jar, or any airtight container and refrigerate to chill and allow flavors to meld.
- Storage and serving: Keep the vegan Baileys in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Shake well before serving as natural separation may occur during refrigeration.
Notes
- Use vegan condensed milk as a base sweetener and cream substitute; it is important for the creamy texture.
- You can substitute soy cream with oat cream depending on preference or availability.
- Vanilla bean paste or scraped vanilla pods enhance the vanilla flavor for a more authentic taste.
- The recipe avoids using coconut cream to prevent splitting or separation during refrigeration.
- Shake the mixture well before each use to recombine the ingredients since the liqueur naturally separates when chilled.
- For an original version that uses coconut cream and a blender, consult additional recipe notes not included here, but be aware of potential splitting.
