Georgi's Irish Cream

Monday, December 21st, 2009

8 c whiskey
4 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
2 oz semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
4 tsp vanilla extract
12 large eggs
4 c light cream or half-and-half
2 cups milk

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Hint: Blend the eggs and condensed milk first and stir a cup of that mixture into the chocolate before adding the chocolate to the whole thing. It seems to help the chocolate blend better.

Store in tightly covered bottled or plastic milk jogs in the refrigerator at least 2 weeks before using. Keeps up to six weeks. By the way, if you taste when you first make it, it will be very strong. As it ages over the 2 weeks, it gets smoother and smoother and continues to get even smoother throughout the six weeks.
