Based on Irish whiskey, Irish Cream is a cream liqueur most commonly used in Irish coffee. The difference between an Irish coffee and an Irish Cream coffee comes down to the amount of whiskey used, the Irish Cream, and the sugar you put in.
The bitterness of an Irish coffee is usually negated by several teaspoons of sugar, however this is reduced in an Irish Cream coffee recipe as the sweetness is provided by the Irish Cream and additional whipped cream.
The amount of whiskey is also reduced in an Irish Cream coffee as it is supplemented by the Irish Cream which already contains whiskey. If you’re seeking an even creamier coffee, you can substitute all the whiskey out and replace it with Irish Cream to achieve the flavours of whiskey with double the cream!
This coffee, best served hot but can also be served cold if made in the warmer months, is a delicious addition to the end of any meal, either as a dessert drink or as a simple round of coffee before the night draws in.
