Sugar free Irish Cream is low carb and easy to make! No cooking involved and in 5 minutes you can enjoya creamy liqueur to sip at your leisureor add to recipes!

Made with a hint of chocolateanda hearty dose of Irish Whisky! This versatile liqueur is a perfect after meal digestif, in aIrish Cream Hot Cocoaor how about using it as a flavor enhancer in baked goods!

Blend the ingredients, put it in a clean container and it’s ready!

Another DIY recipe and you won’t believe how similar this recipe is to the Irish Cream brand, Baileys. Actually, this version tastes better than the store bought typebecause it’s low carb and made without refined sugar!

Creamy liquors like Baileys and Kahula bringsme back to memories from when I was in mytwenties. Black Russians (boozy milkshakes) and Irish Coffees werereally the only adult drinks that I liked back then.

Those sweet flavorsdo a good job at masking any hint of liquor, especially when served with ice. I felt all grown-upordering a Black Russian at a bar, and I would drink it since it tasted like a sweet glass of milk!

My taste buds have matured over the years and sweet drinks are not my thing anymore,so having control over the sugar content is glorious.

In this recipe I subtly toned down the sweetness, and addedjust the right amount of whisky to where your palate will take note!

The whisky flavor does come through the heavy cream and Sugar Free Condensed Milkin this recipe nicely. Simply delicious and adjustable to your preference!

1. I bet that would be tasty, but I haven’t tried it. Let me know if you give it a try.

C’mon – this isn’t REALLY sugar free – that 6oz of whiskey (alcohol) turns almost immediately into SUGAR in the body – and this WILL spike your blood sugar levels – NOT SAFE for diabetics and still not even good for KETO folks.

1. Hi Hedda, my RECIPE stands true as written. Thank you for your opinion.

  1. Almost a year later, but the holidays are coming up, and I bet a lot of people will be looking up your Irish Creme recipe.’ SO…just wanted to say, in response to the comment by “Hedda” ~~~
    Sandra, of course, you are right. Good job. If we’re all going to start talking about what various food ingredients TURN INTO into once they’re in the body, well…c’mon, that’s getting a bit…well, I won’t use the word, but it begins with an “a” and ends with an “l.” This is a food/recipe website, not advanced chemistry.
    Let’s just say if it’s a recipe that does not require sugar to combine with the other ingredients, then it IS a “sugar-free recipe.” (And some posters should remember that manners are just as important online as they are face-to-face. Oh, what the internet is doing to our civility!)
    I Enjoy what you do. Keep up the good work, Miss Foodie Affair! (P.S. Love Irish Creme and have enjoyed your dishes in the past — can’t wait to try this one out!)

1. Hi Sue! I haven’t found a ready-made sugar free condensed milk, so I make my own. Here’s the recipe https://www.thefoodieaffair.com/sugar-free-condensed-milk/

  1. Isn’t Evaporated Milk basically the same as condensed, only unsweetened?
    Reply
    1. It’s also much thicker. Very little water in the milk.

I am on the Keto diet and made this over the weekend. I love it. The fact that it is not loaded with sugars is amazing! I will now make this rather than the store bought Baileys!

We had a game night party last night and I made this… well, we made this several times, everyone kept wanting more while we were playing! It was a HUGE success!

Fighting cancer in my husbands throat, so trying to eliminate sugars, it’s so difficult. I’m thinking your Baileys recipe just might be worth the work for a treat for Christmas!!
Thank you so much for sharing ?
