I believe there's a major typo in this recipe??? Either that, or it is just horrible. I think it should call for (1) 14 oz. can of condensed milk (NOT 4 oz.). Tried it first with just 4 oz. of condensed milk, and was very disappointed. The consistency was way off, and all I tasted was the whiskey. After searching other recipes, it appears that most others call for a 14 oz. can of condensed milk. After adding the remainder of the condensed milk, it did taste better, but still REALLY strong and nothing like the "real" thing. Pretty disappointed (esp. after just spending a boatload on ingredients and booze). Will not be making again.

Sorry Paula but you can keep the raw eggs!!

By Peg Healy on December 03, 2012

Does anyone know how long this will keep?

I was wondering about the eggs in the homemade irish cream. Is it ok to put eggs in something like that, i thought you had to cook eggs to keep from getting sick.

By teresa mcginty on October 09, 2012

my recipe is similar...how ever I do not use instant coffee, I use 1 cup half and half cream... condensed milk....1/2 a teaspoon of coconut extract...3 eggs. 1 and a half cup of rye. enough chocolate syrup to make a nice color...it lasts a lot longer then a month...you should keep it in a dark bottle..( sterilized).( like the Bailey's Irish Cream from the store)the alcohol tempers the raw eggs....I have had it last 3 - 6 months with no worries of it going bad..I have made this recipe for years and years....you would not be able to tell the difference between mine and the store brand....

WOW! What a good looking drink. I don't drink alcohol except at Christmas, but I can't wait that long for this one! Gotta make this now! :o)

By Mary Oxendine on March 17, 2012

Hint: Dissolve the coffee in the booze first, so specks don't show in your drink. Secondly, it's perfectly fine to use the raw eggs, the alcohol will kill anything bad. 3rd, I use 1 and 3/4C whiskey, and about 1/8 tsp. of the almond extract, otherwise, for us, it's too strong. Decades ago, after an evening out (I was young!) and an after dinner drink of Bailey's, I came home and started to experiment with all the flavors my tongue could remember! I just couldn't get the "volume", if you will, until I threw in a couple of eggs. Blended up, it gave the silky texture I was looking for. I haunt antique and thrift stores to find the fancy bottles, and give this at Christmas. Last year I had a full 10 to give out! I enjoy your show, Paula, and I wish you all the luck in the world in your fight with diabetes.

Does anyone know about how much this makes oz., liter, or cups??? ps... this won't allow me to "not rate" this recipe. Sorry for throwing off the stats.

By Laura on December 19, 2011

I'm wondering if I could cook all the ingredients except for the whisky over a double boiler then letting it cool and blending that with the whisky afterwards. Or some other way to cook the eggs to avoid any problems. I know there are a ton of egg nog recipes that use raw eggs but there also ones that cook the eggs. Just wondering if I could use the same process.

By Laurie on December 13, 2011

4 raw eggs?? isn't that a little risky? I don't want anyone to get sick

By Gayle on December 06, 2011

We make this every year as a Christmas gift for friends. It's is awesome!

By Elizabeth on November 24, 2011

Did a side by side taste test with real Baileys and it doesn't compare to the smooth taste and texture that coats your mouth. This version has a much stronger whiskey taste, and the almond extract also really stands out. Hoping that will a little time the whiskey will mellow out. Will taste it again in a week!

I was wondering if this needs to be stored in the fridge?

By Jessica on November 04, 2011

The ratings here suck!!! Can people who have actually tried the recipe rate the recipe PLEASE!? I enjoy Paula Deen too but this rating is for this recipe. good God!

By Robert on October 23, 2011

Sounds wonderful!! I find little glasses & different containers at the thrift store that's a 2 min walk from my place. I LOVE going there. LOL most of my wardrobe I got from there also!! I love your show when I get a chance to watch it. And my 5 yr old grandson will see your picture & tell me, "That's Paula Deen!!" he thinks your great too!

By Susan on May 05, 2011

I just love Paula and watch you show everyday. I don't always get to watch it at the time it's on, but I record every one because my husband and I love your recipes. I can't always make them exactly the same because of the hot spices and your use of bell peppers, especially the green ones. I have bad acid reflux and they bother me, plus, I don't like them. My husband says he loves my cooking and your recipes are always a hit so I make a lot of them. You are my kind of cook because I only cook with butter and extra virgin olive oil. I bake with the extra virgin olive oil also. Even in desserts, people never know the difference. I know it's a little more expensive, but it's so much better for you than vegetable oil. I thank you Paula for being the person you are and just enjoy watching you so much. I would love to meet you someday and be able to cook with you. I know you have been through so much in your life, but you have come so far with your life also. I admire you and love to hear you talk and laugh. What a fun person you are to watch and oooohh those recipes. Please keep up the good work and never leave television. Thanks, Paula. Keep up the wonderful work and remember. I would love to meet you if you ever come to the St. Louis, MO area, or if I can ever get to Savanah. Love, from a great Paula Deen fan, Joetta Royce
