White Chocolate Irish Cream – Creamy, dreamy, smooth and delicious! A wonderful after dinner drink that tastes like dessert!
Who needs dessert when you have this wonderfully smooth, creamy and delicious cordial? Impress your guests with a homemade White Chocolate Irish Cream that will have them begging for the recipe. I can’t believe how simple it is to make and how easy it is to drink 🙂 It’s rich but not really sweet and would be fantastic drizzled over a bowl of ice cream.
The recipe makes enough to share so it could be a great hostess gift presented in a lovely well-sealed bottle. I’m not saying you have to share – just trying to help in case you’re invited to a St. Patrick’s Day party this year. Since I’m feeling a bit “captain obvious” today I’ll add that this recipe doesn’t have to be saved for a special day in March, I think it would be pretty great any time of the year!
Serve chilled in cordial glasses or over ice in a rocks/whiskey glass for a wonderful relaxing end to your day.
Thanks for PINNING!

Sue from The View from Great Island posted a beautiful homemade Irish Cream recipe this past weekend and now I want to try hers too! I should have listened to Sue when she said to be careful and not “taste-test” too much or too often, especially early in the day. Hope you have a wonderful Monday and a great St. Patrick’s Day – thanks so much for stopping by!

March 20, 2015 at 8:02 amDrizzled on ice cream, any flavor, might be just the ticket this weekend! Somebody has to help drink this Irish cream – might as well be me!

March 18, 2015 at 5:08 pmShare? This? No way! Oh, OK, I guess I would. Because I’d make a double batch so there would be plenty for me. 😉 Really nice — thanks.

March 19, 2015 at 1:37 pmHaha – I understand and agree – you don’t have to share John! It is a strong one – but if you’re a fan of irish whiskey and all things creamy – this is the one for you 🙂

March 16, 2015 at 9:43 pmYou and Sue know what I like! 🙂 I made Sue’s when I got home from work this afternoon- nice way to relax after a long day, eh? Your white chocolate version sounds tempting too, and I have a cup of heavy cream left over that really shouldn’t go to waste. 🙂

March 16, 2015 at 9:36 amI am more than willing to forego our regularly scheduled dessert programming for this, Tricia. I can just picture sitting back and savoring this delicious drink after dinner. It sounds like a delicious recipe and I love how you so simply, and beautifully, presented it here.
Tricia Buice says
March 16, 2015 at 6:10 pmHaha – yes indeed Monica! You are so sweet – can’t wait to see what you’re cooking up today!
