Description

Creamy Baileys Irish Cream Ice Cream delivers rich, silky dessert perfection with minimal ingredients. Chocolate shavings and whipped cream complement this indulgent Irish-inspired treat you cannot resist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 oz (90 ml) Baileys Irish cream
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1.5 cups (360 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Assemble all ingredients and equipment, ensuring a pristine workspace and chilled blender for seamless ice cream creation.
  2. Blending: Combine cream, milk, sugar, and Baileys Irish Cream in the blender, pulsing until the mixture transforms into a silky-smooth, homogeneous liquid without any sugar crystals.
  3. Churning: Pour the blended mixture into the pre-chilled ice cream machine, activating the freezing mechanism to gradually incorporate air and develop a luxurious, creamy texture for 20-25 minutes.
  4. Freezing: Gently transfer the soft-serve consistency ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface with a spatula to eliminate air pockets and create a uniform appearance.
  5. Setting: Seal the container with a tight-fitting lid and position in the freezer’s coldest section for 3-4 hours, allowing the ice cream to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
  6. Serving: Remove the Baileys Irish Cream ice cream 5-10 minutes before serving, letting it slightly soften to enhance scooping and flavor release.

Notes

  • Alcohol Content Matters: Using high-quality Baileys ensures smoother texture and richer flavor profile, enhancing overall taste experience.
  • Chilling is Crucial: Refrigerate all ingredients beforehand to guarantee faster churning and prevent unwanted ice crystal formation during freezing process.
  • Equipment Preparation: Clean blender and ice cream machine thoroughly to avoid contaminating delicate flavor and maintain pristine taste quality.
  • Storage Strategy: Use airtight, freezer-safe container with minimal air exposure to preserve creamy consistency and prevent potential freezer burn.
