Bailey's Substitute?

Hello,

Can anyone suggest a substitute for Bailey's Irish Cream for baking? I have a cheesecake recipe that calls for Baileys. To save on buying the Bailey's, I'd like to see if I can't substitute something else.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Try Carolan's Irish Cream. It's about half the price of Baileys or maybe a little more.

Actually tastes better too. Try some over ice.

You could use Iris Cream flavoring and make up the balance with heavy cream. For instance if your recipe called for 1 cup of Bailey's, you could use a cup of cream and 1 tsp. of flavoring. Here is a link to the product:

could you not look up the recipe for "Baileys" and make half the ammount.It is easy to make and does not cost very much. I do have a recipe somewhere but would have to look it out.--there are only 2or

3ingredients such as evaporated milk ,a shot or two of whiskey (or rum--brandy etc.) and i have forgotten what else. make your cheese cake and drink the rest. cheers.

Hi Hilda,

Thanks for the tip. I'm hoping Bailey's goes on sale for Christmas here in the US as well! For that much off the price I'd stock a few bottles for drinks after I'm done baking.

Cheers, Parker

I think that's what I'll do. Emmet's also looks like a good deal. Thanks!

A little Irish Cream over ice always makes baking more fun. :)

I like the idea of having leftover Bailey's for a few drinks.:) Thanks for the suggestion. I just looked up a few recipes and they seem doable. Many seem to contain raw egg, but I think some mixture of cream, milk, and whiskey would do the trick nicely. Thanks. Cheers.

I've been making this recipe for Irish Cream Liqueur for about 5 years now. I got the original recipe from the internet and played with it until I came up with this:

hope this helps, I usually double the recipe and add it to coffee and overice.
