Mock "Bailey's Irish Creme"

From: Denise Bachelder
Date: 1/11/00

1 can sweetened condensed milk(chocolate was also suggested)
1 pint non-dairy coffee creamer OR half and half OR heavy cream
1.5 teaspoons instant coffee crystals dissolved in 2 ozs of hot water
1 cup *blended* whiskey
1 tsp. vanilla (opt.)
Put in blender, or whisk for 3 minutes; chill
Recipe may be multiplied as needed! LOL!

A note about the whiskey--the original recipe given to me said to use only GOOD quality BLENDED whiskey. (translate $$) This will make it taste just like the "real" Bailey's. We are not connoisseurs of fine whiskey and we always buy the cheapest one. :-D Believe me, it tastes JUST FINE!

A note about the cream/coffee-mate stuff--we have tried it with both dairy and non-dairy products and we prefer the taste and agricultural support of real dairy, but the non-dairy product tastes more like real Bailey's and it has a longer shelf life in the fridge. NOT that shelf life is a big problem with such yummmy stuff.
