Place the sweetened condensed milk, whiskey, heavy cream, chocolate syrup, vanilla, and instant coffee into a blender.
Place the blender on low speed and blend until just combined.
Serve immediately or pour into bottles and refrigerate until ready to serve.

The most important thing about this Homemade Baileys Recipe is making sure you only blend on low speed and just until combined. You do not want to thicken the cream at all, you just want to mix the ingredients together well, so avoid high speed on the blender.
You may see in a lot of other recipes that homemade Irish Cream will keep for much longer in the refrigerator, but since we are using heavy cream, I am going by the guidelines of using the cream within 7 days of opening the package. You judge as you see fit. Just make sure it stays refrigerated.
If you're making this for a crowd to serve, you can easily double this recipe, just make sure to store it in the refrigerator until serving.
You can add other flavor extracts to bring some other tasty flavors to this if desired, see some suggestions above.
Feel free to add this Irish Cream to any of your favorite after dinner drinks.
This drink is best served very cold or over plenty of ice. This is perfect for sipping as is or adding to your favorite cocktail recipes.
