Baileys Ice Cream

The best Baileys ice cream is rich, smooth and so creamy. It’s also so easy to make, no-churn and the best tasting ice cream ever!

This Baileys ice cream is pure perfection! It has all the delicious boozy Baileys flavor you could dream of in an easy, no churn, smooth, creamy and rich ice cream.

If you’re a fan of Baileys, and ice cream, then this is right up your street! It’s the perfect after-dinner treat for the grown ups. I mean, it’s not THAT boozy but it’s still very much a grown up dessert.

Have a glass of actual Baileys on the side too. I mean, why not. It’s good stuff.

We’re such fans of Baileys we even made our own copycat recipe, check out our Homemade Irish Cream.

Ingredients You’ll Need For Irish Cream Ice Cream:

Ingredient Notes

• Heavy cream – should be fridge cold. It forms the base of this ice cream so it must be a thick, rich cream. It’s called thickened cream in Australia. You can also use whipping cream.
• Sweetened condensed milk – provides the sweetness for this ice cream, we used one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
• Cocoa powder – should be natural and unsweetened. It’s ideal to sift it so that it mixes in easily.
• Baileys – should be fridge cold.

How To Make Baileys Ice Cream

Full instructions and measurements can always be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

• Add heavy cream to the bowl of your stand mixer and whip it until you have stiff peaks.

• Add sweetened condensed milk, sifted cocoa powder and Baileys and whip in until thickened.

• Transfer to a loaf pan and smooth down.
• Cover with foil and freeze until set.

• When the ice cream has set, scoop and serve.

Success Tips

Don’t over-whip it. Whip the ice cream mix until thickened, but be careful not to over-whip it or it will start to turn grainy and want to start turning into butter.

Your cream must be cold. Whip the heavy cream straight from the fridge. If the cream is not fridge cold then it may not whip properly.

Scoop and serve right away. The alcohol in the Baileys resists freezing so it keeps this ice cream easily scoopable straight out of the freezer, which is awesome! However, it does also mean that it can start to melt quite quickly, so scoop and serve right away.

Storing Instructions

Keep your Baileys ice cream stored in the freezer. It’s best enjoyed within the first 1-2 weeks for the best taste and texture.
