A Better Gift Than The Clapper OR The Chia Pet!

I've done it now two years in a row, and people go nuts for it. Homemade Irish Creme:

3 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 pt cream
~12 oz Irish or Canadian whiskey
1 tsp instant coffee
1 tsp Hershey's syrup

Dissolve the instant coffee in just enough hot water to form a paste.

blend the eggs first, until they are slightly thickened.

Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend. Will keep for ~ 3 weeks, or you can freeze it and eat it like soft ice cream!

I like to re-use empty wine bottles to give this out. You can soak them in hot soapy water to remove the labels, and run 'em through the dishwasher to sterilize. If you double the recipe, it'll use a full fifth of whiskey and you'll be able to fill 3 bottles. Stick in a cool wine stopper and voile!
