Thanks chookie - I remember when Baileys first hit the market here (mannnnnny years ago !!) and there were versions with whole eggs, including the shell that got blitzed up and strained.  This is easier and less prone to being gritty.

Does anyone remember that version? or am I dreaming?

[JulieO]

I've got a version with egg, but no shell    It's just the best and I have been told it's much nicer than the original. If anyone is interested I'd be only too happy to share.

julieO,   I would love the recipe for  Irish Cream with egg.     The one I've posted has glycerine which is difficult to purchase.    I did find it at Safeway , in the medicinal section.....  You can leave it out without much effect.    The glycerine adds to the texture and is said to be a preservative.

[JulieO]

Chookie, it's a really difficult recipe, I hope you can handle it! 

HOME MADE BAILEY'S
1 tin sweetened condensed milk (I think it’s about 400g?)
300ml carton thickened cream
¼ tsp coconut essence
1 cup brandy (or whisky if that is your preference - I prefer brandy)
1 ½ tblsp chocolate topping
3 eggs

Combine all in a large mixer bowl.  Mix together for 2 mins.  Pour into suitable containers.

Of course  just whizz up in the TM.  It's so simple, but really nice, lasts a while in the fridge too.

JulieO,    thanks for the recipe for the Irish Cream.   I'll make it and invite some friends around and we will do a blind test.

Be interested to hear the results of that blind test chookie.

[Thermomixer]

Hope that's not a blind drunk test    If you put it in the zabaglione then they definitely won't know the difference.

Made this yesterday. It was a great hit.
A lot of my xmas gifts are coming out of the TM

[judydawn]

Which one did you do TC?

[Thermo convert]

Hi JD,
I made the one with the eggs in it and used whiskey.  One bottle for a gift and the remainder has gone already. My 23 year old son is home.
He can empty a fridge by walking past it. Very nice mixed with ice and milk apparently.

I have looked on the Bailey's bottle and the ingredients do not include coffee in any shape or form.In the Thermomix  My Way of Cooking has a far simpler recipe than the aforementioned ones and I believe a Teetotaler like me could be converted with the results.
Just thought I would mention it!!!
Kind regards
