Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder or granules
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 397 g
  • 3-4 tablespoons chocolate syrup such as Hershey's
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whiskey

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and instant espresso gently until the espresso is roughly 95% dissolved.
  2. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract just until blended.
  3. Add the whiskey in 1/3 cup increments, whisking gently after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour into an empty whiskey bottle, large mason jar, or other storage bottle.
  5. Refrigerate; it will keep for at least 3 weeks (and has stayed perfect for up to 6 weeks).
  6. Shake well before pouring.
