Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

My vegan no alcohol Irish cream recipe is perfect for making ahead of time and storing in your fridge for when you need a tasty non-alcoholic treat. When you make the recipe, you can make the full batch and keep it in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.

To ensure the best consistency of your Irish cream, shake the container well before serving. If you find that your mixture has started to separate or thicken after being stored in the fridge, simply give it a good shake or stir to combine everything back together.

This recipe is not suitable for freezing, as the texture may change and it may lose its creamy consistency. The addition of coconut milk makes this recipe easily perishable if not stored adequately in the refrigerator.

To serve cold, pour over ice cubes and garnish with cocoa powder or whipped coconut cream. Alternatively, if you want a warm beverage, heat up the chilled Irish cream on stovetop or microwave. Reheat slowly over low heat, whisking occasionally until heated through properly.

The recipe serves about 10 portions so if you’re planning to serve it at a gathering or large dinner party, simply double or triple the recipe and store accordingly. This flavorful and creamy no alcohol Irish cream is an excellent choice for dessert recipes, coffee creamer alternatives and even non-alcoholic Irish coffee or Lyre cocktails.

Tips for Perfect Results

Before you start making this vegan, non-alcoholic Irish cream recipe, let me share some tips to help you achieve perfect results. First of all, make sure you use full-fat coconut milk to get the right creamy consistency. Light coconut milk may not give the same rich texture we’re looking for in this recipe.

Next, dissolve the instant coffee granules in hot water first before adding them to the blender with other ingredients. This helps create a smoother texture and prevents grainy bits from ruining your perfect Irish cream liqueur.

You can use brown sugar or any other sweetener that you prefer. If you want a richer flavor, try maple syrup or even coconut sugar. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by gradually adding sweetener and blending again after each addition.

To make this recipe nut-free, simply substitute almond milk for another plant-based milk, such as oat or soy milk. You can also switch up the flavor by using vanilla extract instead of almond extract.

If you want a stronger Irish whiskey taste, add an extra shot (or two if you dare), but be warned: too much alcohol can overpower the other flavors in this recipe. Remember, we’re going for a balanced and smooth taste that’s reminiscent of traditional Irish cream liqueur.

Finally, take your time blending everything together in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy. Serve chilled over ice or use it as a base for decadent desserts like Irish coffee or vegan Baileys Almande dessert recipes. With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to create a perfectly smooth and delicious vegan version of Baileys Irish Cream every time!
