Baileys coffee is a twist on the classic Irish coffee and replaces whiskey, cream, and sugar with Baileys Irish Cream liqueur. This combination is so popular that Baileys even sells a line of dedicated coffee creamers.
However, pre-made coffee creamers often contain additives and preservatives to keep them fresh on the shelves, and it’s impossible to adjust these creamers to suit your dietary needs.
Our non-alcoholic Baileys Coffee Creamer recipe delivers the flavor of Baileys Coffee Creamer- creamy and nutty, with hints of chocolate and vanilla- but without the additives that you’d find in a store-bought coffee creamer.
Best of all, it’s a snap to make and simple to customize!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Baileys Coffee Creamer Have Alcohol In It?
Store-bought Baileys coffee creamer is non-alcoholic, and so is the recipe we’ve developed here.
However, if you’d like to make an alcoholic version of this coffee creamer, replace the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and almond extract with 1/3 cup of Baileys Irish Cream.
Can I Make This Creamer Dairy-Free?
To make this creamer dairy-free, use a non-dairy milk alternative such as soy milk, coconut milk, or almond milk as a substitute. You’ll need 2 3/4 cups of your milk alternative.
While your milk is steaming, add 1/2 cup sugar and stir until dissolved. This will replace the sweetness of the sweetened condensed milk.
Can I Make This Creamer Sugar-Free?
You can make a sugar-free Baileys coffee creamer with a few tweaks to our recipe.
Replace the milk and sweetened condensed milk with 2 3/4 cups of unsweetened almond milk. Sweeten with the sugar substitute of your choice.
How Long Does Homemade Baileys Coffee Creamer Last?
