Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup whiskey or bourbon
2/3 cup allulose syrup see notes for more options
1 teaspoon cocoa if you like it extra chocolatey feel free to go up to 2 tsp
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee
pinch kosher salt

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a blender and run at low speed until *just* combined. I personally think that 2/3 cup of sweetener is enough (even using allulose), but feel free to sweeten to taste. Yuuup, thats it! Serve with ice and store in an airtight container in the fridge for a week.
My one top tip: be sure to not over-mix or you could end up curdling your Irish cream (or turning it into whipped cream!). So when I say *just* combined, I mean seconds ok? Particularly if using a high speed blender.
Using granular sweetener? Ensure your blender is dry, add the sweetener and run it until powdered. Wait for the dust to settle (literally), and then just go ahead and add the rest of your ingredients and blend briefly.
No blender? While I did find it easier to emulsify (for lack of a better word) the ingredients together in one, a hand mixer or even a whisk will work too.

Notes

The sweetener

By now I think you guys know that I'm a fan of using allulose syrup for drinks (because no aftertaste and it blends wonderfully!).

That said, granular allulose and xylitol work great here too as they dissolve fairly easily when blending. But if using erythritol you do want to ensure its the powdered version, otherwise you'll be chewing your way through minty crystals.

Make your own powdered sweetener: ensure your blender is dry, add the sweetener and run it until powdered. And you can then just go ahead and add the rest of your keto irish cream ingredients ;).
