St. Paddy’s Day is right around the corner and this Baileys Milkshake is sure to be a hit at any party. It’s a fun, boozy, grown-up treat that is so easy to make. With just 2 simple ingredients, you’ll be whipping some up and celebrating in no time!
A few years ago, my husband and I went to Vegas with some friends of ours. They introduced us to this fun little casino/pub inside the Linq hotel called O’Shea’s. The atmosphere was so much fun! They have a drink on their menu called Frozen Baileys. Let me tell you, it is delicious. I had one everyday of our trip. I loved that drink so much that I wanted to find a way to recreate it at home.
So I took inspiration from my days working at a 50’s style burger joint in high school where I made countless milkshakes during my 3 years there. As a milkshake pro, I know the secret to a good milkshake is the perfect liquid to ice cream ratio. I like my milkshakes thick so my perfect ratio is 1/4 cup of liquid for every 2 cups of ice cream.
This shake is so simple to make. I just put 5 big scoops (about 2 cups) of vanilla ice cream and 1/4 cup of Baileys into a blender (my Vitamin is my favorite thing ever! You can find it here). Then I let it blend until it was smooth. That’s it! So easy! To make it extra fun and festive, I topped it with some whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a few gold sprinkles because I’m fancy like that.
My Favorite Whipped Cream Recipe:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Mix with a hand mixer (I use this one) until stiff peaks
Now, I love me some Baileys. I drink it straight, over ice when I want a little boozy treat. You can definitely taste the booze in this shake, but if you feel like 1/4 cup is too much for you, then just substitute a little bit of milk for some of it.
