    The alcohol version, what we made is not Irish by a pure definition of the word because we couldn't afford a bottle of Irish Whiskey so we used Southern Comfort.
    But with a little tweeking, this recipe makes a very good copy of the original.

    1 cup light cream
    1- 14oz can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
    1 2/3 cup Southern Comfort, add more if needed
    2 Tablespoons of chocolate syrup, more if you like a stronger chocolate flavor
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Combine ingredients in blender and blend on high for about a minute.
    Makes 4 cups. Bottle in a mason jar, empty spirits bottle or other sealable container and refrigerate. Shake well before serving and will keep for 2+ months in fridge.

    That sounds like a good Irish Creme to me, but anything that has chocolate in it is a winner!

    KB on the other hand would say it is too sweet. lol. men! He makes his with coffee, brown sugar, and whiskey, no creme even,,,he don't know whats good i tell you.

    I'm not sure i know what sweetened condensed milk is. But it sounds sweet!
