I am not really a fan of the true factor and by no means have been. I discover it overly candy and cloying. The similar goes for a lot of sugary liqueurs.

How to make Keto Irish Cream

Irish Cream liqueur consists of some fundamental components:

Heavy cream
Sweetened condensed milk
Chocolate syrup
Vanilla extract and/or almond extract
Lots of Irish whiskey

Making the condensed milk

To make a keto pleasant model, step one is to make a sugar free condensed milk substitute.

I discovered I didn’t have to go the complete method of constructing my keto condensed milk recipe. I might merely simmer the cream and the non-dairy milk to cut back it and get the identical general impact.

Use some allulose or BochaSweet

Swerve is my favourite sweetener by far however it does have its drawbacks and one in every of them is the truth that it could recrystallize in a liquid software reminiscent of this.

Replacing half of the Swerve with some allulose or BochaSweet helps maintain it from doing this. It additionally has the additional benefit of constructing the combination extra syrupy, like actual Irish Cream liqueur.

Chocolate syrup vs. cocoa powder

If you occur to have any of my sugar free chocolate syrup useful, you may use that. But it’s one more step to the method if you must make it from scratch. You might additionally use a pre-made keto chocolate syrup reminiscent of ChocZero.

But I merely added a tablespoon of cocoa powder. You get the identical impact and it simplifies the method for those who don’t have any keto chocolate syrup useful!

Irish Whiskey

Go seize your self a bottle of Jamison or different Irish whiskey as a result of it isn’t Irish Cream with out it!

Sweeten to style

Sweetness in a recipe like that is all the time a matter of style, so I’ve left it open ended on this keto Irish Cream recipe. I don’t like mine overly candy however for those who style it and discover it missing, whisk in additional powdered or liquid sweetener.

Storage directions

Because this keto liqueur is made with contemporary cream, it must be saved within the fridge always.

Don’t really feel you must rush to eat all of it. Because it the cream is dropped at a boil, and since it comprises a big quantity of alcohol, it gained’t spoil shortly. It must be tremendous for as much as two weeks.
