George If you used to like Baileys before going vegan, you’re going to love our Vegan Irish Cream Liqueur – Homemade Vegan Baileys plant-based version. We have tried recreating this drink ever since we went vegan, but all the recipes we found always tasted too much like coconut. We finally solved it with Oatly Barista oat milk. Our vegan version of the Baileys doesn’t taste like coconut at all. Get ready for the perfect holiday drink!
We used to love Baileys before going vegan so we wanted to recreate a drink that tasted just as nice. We love the new vegan version of Baileys but it has a very different flavour from the traditional one, not having coffee but being vanilla-based. Our Vegan Irish Cream Liqueur – Homemade Vegan Baileys version has coffee, vanilla, coconut cream and a special creamy oat milk (Oatly Barista) which is not as liquid, with a creamier texture making it perfect to make this drink.

Hi Jeanette,

This is the recipe Baileys should have used for their vegan version. I’m very happy you that you cracked the problem!
Thank you so so much for your lovely words! We are so so happy that you like our vegan Baileys recipe 🙂
This recipe is absolutely amazing. i made many batches and handed them out as christmas gifts. EVERYONE really got excited about this and demanded the recipe. thank youuu
Incredible, it 100% tastes like real Baileys!!!!
I made this for several family members and gave it to them for Christmas. Now I’m making more because they prefer it over Bailey’s ! So do I. This stuff is boozy and delicious!
I don’t how you guys came up with this recipe, but since discovering it my family has been drinking gallons of this stuff. Everyone that tastes it loves it!
I’ll never buy Irish cream again after making this recipe! Thank you!!
This is HEAVEN!! It was sooooooo creamy and smooth, delicious.
I’ve been using this recipe for several years and everyone that tastes it loves it.
I absolutely love this recipe! Both taste and texture are perfect. Thank you very much!
This recipe is amazing! I was a little naughty and substituted some of the coffee with your homemade vegan nutella (which is my absolute favorite) and it turned out DELICIOUS.
I am really impressed with this vegan baileys recipe. I love making my own liquors and I found this to be a super-easy way to duplicate the taste of a high-quality Irish Cream. It’s also the best vegan baileys recipe on the internet, hands down. Thank you so much for coming up with this!
Never buying Baileys again. This stuff is cheaper and much better! Also love your vegan eggnog.
