      <content>From the Bailey's Website (www.baileys.com):

"One of the keys to achieving this is the artful blending of fresh Irish cream and aged Irish whiskey"

And

"Q. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts?

A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting grain which contains Gluten. Due to the presence of gluten in the whiskey components before distillation we cannot absolutely guarantee that there are no effects to coeliacs. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons requiring a gluten free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Egg/Egg Products:

None of the ingredients used in Baileys use egg or egg products in their manufacture. On the basis of this and to the best of our knowledge there are no traces of egg in Baileys. As we are not qualified to give medical advice persons with requiring an egg free diet must consult their medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Lactose:

Baileys contains about 50% cream and trace amounts (&lt;0,5%) of Lactose, which is a constituent of milk. If the allergy is specifically to Lactose and not due to any other milk constituent then it may be possible for the consumer to consume Baileys. Please note that we are not qualified to give medical advice therefore you should consult with your medical adviser before consuming Baileys.

Nuts:

The emulsifier in Baileys contains refined vegetable oil. This constitutes 0.35% of the weight of the final product. This vegetable oil may be of nut or nut origin whose ingredients are mixtures of glycerol mono or diesters with minor triesters."

I wrote the company asking about caffeine and they said, yes, Bailey's does contain a small amount of caffeine.

So... What does that tell us?

50% cream (I'm sure this is heavy cream)
Aged Irish Whiskey (not vodka, rum, bourbon or scotch- I'd go with Bushmills or Jameson)
Coffee and/or possibly chocolate (From what I can taste, I'm thinking it's a miniscule amount of coffee)
Emulsifier (probably lecithin)
Sugar

No eggs/No egg yolks
No condensed milk
No almond extract (some recipes add this)

At some I'll probably write the company, mention a chocolate 'allergy' and see if I can narrow the caffeine component down. If I knew, for certain, it contained coffee, the recipe would pretty much be a done deal.</content>

      <content>Everyone I give this to loves it.  I chose this recipe specifically because it did not have any egg in it, which seemed an odd addition to me.


HOMEMADE BAILEY's

      <content>I've made a recipe similar to this one three or four times, and each time it has been awesome. I'm partial to Tullamore Dew, but Powers will do in a pinch. I find that using melted milk chocolate - I use cadbury dairy milk w/o melamine :0) - really makes the flavor outstanding, and really avoids the HFCS factor. You have to work to emulsify the chocolate, but it is worth it in my opinion. This stuff is gone by January 1 when given as a christmas gift.</content>

      <content>This is the version I tried once.  Tasted side by side with the real thing, I remember being impressed with how close it came.

No eggs in this one.  Be sure to chill it, pouring it over ice makes it watery.</content>

      <content>I just made a batch.  Susan's recipe and the one blue room posted are essentially the same. 

I used half and half instead of light cream.

Pretty darned close to the real thing.  Pretty darned yummy.
I *highly* recommend it.  

In fact, I might have to make a batch for myself - as tonight's batch are holiday presents...</content>

      <content>I have a bunch of recipes in various books... I haven't had a chance to try any out yet, but I have a bottle of Bushmills on the shelf awaiting its fate.  This one is from Top Secret Recipes.

1-12 oz can evaporated milk
1 c Irish whiskey
2/3 c sugar
1 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp instant coffee

Mix well, store in the fridge, shake before pouring.</content>

      <content>FYI--In these recipes, I've used fat-free 1/2 &amp; 1/2, and it tastes great!  Not that you're making it "good for you", because it's still loaded with sugar, the fat-free 1/2 and 1/2 is an option.</content>
