We drank this side by side with Baileys last christmas. There was a slight difference in colour and flavour and most people though the home made was the best :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Made with UJSSM.

So does this make 2 litres or only a bit. To make 2 litres do I add double of everything or triple or so on.

not quite 2 L. it would be a really odd multiplication to get 2L worth

When you make it you will probably want to adjust the recipe to suit your taste... I added a bit more cream, another egg and a dash more chocolate topping. Just taste it as you go and you'll work out what it needs :)

Try this mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just type in your desired quantity and it will work out the recipe for you :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Made a version of this over the weekend
Reduced cream and added 100ml Glucose
so smooth :greetings-waveyellow:

Graeme

its christmas time again. i know im making a batch of this again!

Easy we still got two weeks and 2 washes to run yet :D

Not even on the same page till the weekend before Xmas, then it's flagons x plenty of Aussie cream time.

This stuff is probably better off made at the last minute, with raw egg, cream etc involved... I may be wrong though? It's not hard to knock a batch up as needed though :handgestures-thumbupleft:

i checked up on that last Christmas. it will last a very long time due to the alcohol content, similar to eggnog (which some recipes say to make 6 weeks before serving)

Nah,

not for mine, 6weeks???... reckon it's past it's prime in 10+ days and best after 2-3 days.

yeah, in the fridge it can last for months, but rarely lasts for days.

I'd love to get a definitive answer on how long this keeps.
Last year it didn't last a week around Christmas and I'm assuming this Christmas it'll go as quick, but in case is doesn't and I lose track of the age of the stuff
:think: :pray: :doh: :shifty:

Can't help there tips...

I just go on taste. Found the long term stuff starts to separate a bit and it tastes flat to me after a while like it loses that distinctive fresh creamy appeal and then it's just thick which is ok but yeh flat. I reckon Baileys is like that when it's be opened for while.

I use my grandma's old recipe, which is somewhat similar to this recipe, Gran always said it lasted 6 weeks in the fridge. But as I said, it never lasted that long.

I have some in my fridge which my cousin gave SWMBO 3 weeks ago and I had a sneaky sampler last night. it looked great and tasted so too.

I don't think you'll get a definitive answer, as BT1 says - use your senses and if it looks suss and smells suss throw it out.

If you plan to make some as gifts, as I would tell them to shake it well before drinking and to drink within 28 days (just to be on the safe side). Let's face it, if you can't knock over a bottle of this stuff in 28 days over Christmas you are a borderline teetotaller.

Cheers Bt1, choppy.

Great Advice. I'd hate to give it out as gifts and then make em crook :puke-huge:

Just made my 2nd batch lovin this stuff :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Has any one tried a caramel version

Made up a double batch for Christmas today. I forgot how good it is :handgestures-thumbupleft:

All righty then,

Got to admit still have trouble getting those fluffy egg whites whipped up.
Use room temp eggs - fresh
a SS bowl
Fine sugar

So all, how's it done...

No fluffy peaks
