Vegan Baileys Recipe
Servings 9.5
This Vegan Baileys is the real deal! It’s creamy, sweet and the consistency is just right.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) pitted dates
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened cashew milk divided
- 5 tablespoons strong coffee optional
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) coconut cream soft or melted
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) Irish whiskey (I used Bushmills Original)
Instructions
- To a high-speed blender, add the dates and enough of the cashew milk to cover the dates (for me, that was ½ cup). This is to make blending the dates easier. If you just dump everything together in the blender, it takes forever to blend the dates.1/4 cup (60 grams) pitted dates, 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened cashew milk
- Blend on high until totally smooth and then add the rest of the cashew milk and all the other ingredients.5 tablespoons strong coffee, 6 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 1/2 teaspoons Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup (120 grams) coconut cream, 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) Irish whiskey
- Blend on high for 1 minute.
- It'll thicken in the fridge and also separate. But it's easy to combine by shaking the bottle or stirring with a spoon. I stir after about an hour and then it stays combined, but still think it's good to give it a little shake before serving.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
Notes
- If your dates aren't soft, then you can put them in a mug and pour in enough boiling water to cover them. They'll soften within a minute or two. Drain all the water.
- If you omit the coffee, the taste is really great, but it'll be like a runny mousse after chilling rather than a pourable drink.
- It's important to warm the coconut cream (if it was refrigerated) or else you'll have chunks of coconut cream in your drink. If it’s room temperature and soft, then you don’t need to warm it. If there’s any coconut water at the bottom of your can, leave that out. You only want the hard coconut cream.
- It's important to blend it in a blender. If you just mix in the melted coconut cream, the coconut fat separates and rises to the top while chilling.
