Coffee & Irish Cream

 Irish Cream

Homemade Chocolate Syrup

• 1 1/4 cups organic sugar
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

In a large sauce pan whisk sugar and cocoa powder until most lumps are gone.  Add water and salt and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.  After sauce is thick, remove from heat and let cool 5 min.  Add vanilla extract and stir.

• 14oz sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 or 3 tbs of homemade chocolate syrup

Mix everything in a blender until well mixed.  Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
