Irish Cream Ice Cream

I love Irish cream ice cream, so when I got my own ice cream maker, I went looking for a recipe to duplicate it. To my horror, after an extensive search of the internet, I could only find one, and it was way too large for my 2-quart maker. So, I came up with one of my own. The result was a surprisingly good substitute for the expensive brand. Because of the liqueur, the ice cream takes a bit longer to harden, but the wait is worth it!
