Baileys Ice Cream with Whiskey Caramel Sauce Recipe (2024)

Looking for a boozy late-night dessert? This homemade ice cream recipe is the perfect option…

Baileys Ice Cream with Whiskey Caramel Sauce Recipe (1)

Homemade ice cream with whiskey caramel sauce and Bailey’s is the perfect adult treat to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with.

Sure, Shamrock Shakes are fun, but who needs green food coloring when you have Bailey’s…and whiskey!

If you’ve never made ice cream before, this is the perfect recipe to start with. It’s almost fool-proof, relying on just heavy cream, sugar, and milk instead of a traditional egg custard base.

The result is a silky, creamy ice cream with just a hint of baileys cream.

To take this dessert over the top, I, Alex, have included a whiskey caramel sauce to liberally drizzle over.

For a St. Patty’s worthy sundae, layer Bailey’s Ice Cream over chocolate ice cream in a serving bowl, then top it with whiskey caramel sauce, whipped cream, and garnishes of your choice.

Another sundae recipe is Frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundaes which is also the best summer treat.

Just as fun as an Irish Car Bomb but a lot more delicious, and you won’t feel nearly as bad the next day…

Instructions

  • Add the sugar and water to a large sauce pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan over the heart source for 15 minutes or until a deep amber color is reached. Watch closely as to not let it burn. The caramel should be a deep golden brown color, any paler and it will not turn into caramel sauce.

  • Once the deep amber color is reached, turn off the burner and remove the sauce pan from the heat. Slowly add in the heavy cream while stirring. Add in the whiskey and salt and place on the still-warm burner for another minute or two, stirring the entire time. By now, the two liquids should have incorporated creating a rich caramel sauce.

  • Transfer to a heat safe container to cool.
