Soo....you've got most of your shopping done, but you don't have anything for your neighbors, co-workers, or people who bring unexpected gifts? It's Not Too Late for Handmade Gifts for Christmas...Really!
All you need is this assortment of products from your kitchen cabinet and about 15 minutes. Or, if you don't have all these, you can purchase enough to make 10 gifts for about $30.
So raid your cabinet, go to the store, and break out your blender for this fabulous, delicious, and easy handmade treat!
Homemade Irish Creme
Delicious Meter (1 to 5): 4 - I mean, if you like that sort of thing...and I do...with coffee...or on the rocks...or even with hot chocolate. But maybe my mouth is just watering because I'm pregnant and can't have any of this. Pure torture.
Serving Suggestion: I love it with coffee...or on the rocks...or even with hot chocolate. But maybe my mouth is just watering because I'm pregnant and can't have any of this. Pure torture! Anyway, I made gift baskets with a bottle of the good stuff, plus a pack of Christmas coffee and some homemade shortbread.
Weight Watcher Points - Really?
Ingredients:
*makes about 2 pints or 1 qt
1C Heavy Whipping Cream
14Oz Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 2/3C (or less) of Irish Whiskey (I used Early Times, per the suggestion of the Liquor store guy...I was in a rush to get out of there because I'm pregnant and I thought it looked funny, so the $30 bottle for a Qt did just fine for me!)
1TSP Instant Coffee (I used International Delight Hazelnut)
2TBSP Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
1TSP Vanilla
1TSP Almond Extract (Optional)
