Maureen McCullough's Irish Cream Recipe
Maureen: Hello,
dearie. Wonderful to have you here for a visit. Since all of my strapping lads
and lovely lasses have left the nest I’m glad to have the company. Can I get
you something to drink, coffee, tea, a nip of Tully?
Lydia: Thanks.
I’ll have coffee please.
Lydia: *Laughs*
Well, we’re all excited to share your recipes. If anything, you’re famous for
knowing your way around the kitchen.
Maureen: Ain’t
that the bloody truth! Without me the natives would get restless. My brood
likes to eat, especially my Finnegan, but you’d never tell it to look at him.
Built like a brick shit house, that one. All of my boys are too tempting for
their own good! Luckily they’re startin' to settle down. Especially my rogue,
Kelly. Shocked the shit out of me, that one did. But he’s a good boy, my Kelly.
All right then, enough blathering from me. Let’s get
started. You will need:
1 cup heavy cream
1 can (14 oz.)
sweetened condensed milk
1 2/3 cup Irish
whiskey—Our family is partial to Tullamore Dew
1 teaspoon instant
coffee granules
2 tablespoons
chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1 teaspoon almond
extract
Set your blender up and combine the heavy cream, sweetened
condensed milk, and Irish whiskey—I like to add a touch extra. *Tips the bottle over the blender to add a
surprising amount of whiskey* Add in the instant coffee, chocolate syrup,
vanilla extract, and almond extract. It’s fairly simple. Now blend.
*The blender kicks into motion and Maureen continues to
shout over the racket*
There’s somewhat of a dispute over whiskey, you know. Some
believe Jameson is the traditional Irish Catholic whiskey, but we love our
Tully, which is considered an Irish brew. Back in the day it was Jameson versus
Bushmills, which was what the Protestants drank. People forget there were only
two distilleries, one in the north and one in the south and Ireland can be
quite divided. What most people don’t realize is that now a days Bushmills and
Jameson are from the same distillery. Bloody nonsense! So we stick to Tullamore
dew, simply because the slogan says “Irish True”.
*The blender rattles to a stop*
And there you have it, love, a bit of history and a delicious
batch of homemade Irish Cream! Let’s add some to your coffee. *Tops off mug*
You just store this in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator and give
it a wee shake before serving.
Lydia: Delicious!
Thank you for sharing with us, Maureen. It’s been fun.
Maureen: Of
course! And next time you come by I’ll teach you how to make Irish Potatoes. My
grand babies love them!
