I place a high importance on healthy eating and an active lifesyle but I also find it essential to indulge occasionally. Over the Christmas season, it is downright impossible to behave with that never-ending supply of chocolate that appears at the office, parties and basically every where you go in the month of December! I knew my defeat was inevitable when the chocolate aggressively hunted me down and taunted me. (Don't judge, you weren't there)
One holiday favourite that I was especially craving was Baileys irish cream. You can't buy a vegan version, but you can make it yourself.
I was fairly skeptical that Baileys could be replaced, but it really was delicious; creamy and very much like Baileys. I combined two different recipes to get the taste I liked. It doesn't last permanently like the commercial kind, so I suggest making it for your next get together. Cheers!
Vegan Baileys
1 can coconut milk 2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp raw or brown sugar 3/4 cup whiskey
2 tbsp chocolate syrup 1/3 cup strong coffee
Combine all ingredients thouroughly using a whisk. Do not froth. Keep refrigerated, prefereably in a dark bottle.
