If you like Baileys, you are going to love this! I usually make it with condensed milk but had a flash of inspiration when I saw a jar of dulce de leche, the soft spoonable toffee often used to make banoffee pie, in the supermarket. If you want to make a batch to give as gifts, stick a label on the bottles to make sure that the lucky recipient knows to store it in the fridge.

    Oh my goodness this is lovely. So easy to make and a lot easier to drink, too easy. I love Baileys so to have a recipe for it is wonderful. Like it says above these would make ideal gifts. If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. Yum.

    ooo just to add, I didn't have enough Brandy and ended up using what I had in the house which was 100ml Brandy, 200ml Whiskey, delicious!

    I got it a bit wrong - used a large pot of single cream (600ml/21.1fl.oz) as I didn't read the amounts carefully. And it was STILL fabulous.

    I make this as gifts every Christmas and my friends love it. It's also great made with whisky or Rum.

    If I had known it tasted this good I would have made it years ago! Made some on Tuesday & took into Lobbs Farm Shop where I work for staff & Customers to try. Staff, all but one, enjoyed it & will be having some as Christmas presents along with brandy butter & Customers wanted to buy it! Recipe says it will keep for 2 weeks - mine lasted about 24 hours - devine!

    Toffee sauce in Rachel Allen 'Bake' recipe (goes with her equally delicious sticky toffee pudding) I feel sure would work a treat instead of the Dulce de Leche. I've noticed the Caramel condensed milk cans now have a little flag on the can 'dulce de leche' too - save anyone decorating their ceiling! Bring on the next batch :)

    Made this liqueur without the dulce de leche as I couldn't find it in the supermarkets, so instead I used a tin of Carnation Caramel and it worked out great. The result was really tasty!
