Cheatin' Bailey's


I was cooking earlier with coconut milk and the recipe only used 3/4 of the can. I was about to do my usual trick of sticking the leftovers in the fridge only to forget about them to end up throwing them away in a week's time when I remembered that this week's Iron Chef Challenge was for coconut. So, here we have Cheatin' Bailey's - a vegan version of the Irish Whiskey cream liqueur. There's no faffing around making syrups to flavour it with, it comes together in mere minutes.

Ingredients
Serves 1
Ice
2 x double shot of coconut milk
Few drops of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of instant coffee
1 teaspoon of powdered drinking chocolate
1 tablespoon of boiling water
1 shot of Irish whiskey
1 teaspoon of agave syrup

Put the coffee and chocolate in a cup. Add the boiling water and stir until dissolved.
Add all of the ingredients including ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake well until chilled.
Serve in a glass tumbler over ice.

PS - the round thing drawn on the glass isn't a slice of orange as it looks in the photo! It's part of a picture of the London skyline around the glass and it's the London Eye. It's part of a lovely set of glasses my mum got me for Christmas the other year. The other skylines are Paris, San Fransisco and New York.

  9. That sounds good. I'd only ever had bailey's (before becoming vegan) in a drink called a slippery nipple. It was baileys and butterscotch schnapps. Might have to give this a try.

  10. I had to laugh because I do the exact same thing with excess coconut milk, it's such a waste but now I can do this each time that happens! A friend and I always used to drink Baileys but of course once I was vegan I had to stop so she'll be pleased we can from now on!

  12. Some love for:

    1. Your use of leftover coconut milk (I'm always wasting it also)
    2. Our mutual enjoyment of tea (I'm sometimes embarrassed by my collection of tea gadgets)
    3. A great blog.

    Thanks!
