For gourmets looking for something new, we recommend you try Baileys Cheesecake, a typically Irish dessert whose recipe is said to have been created by R&A Baileys, the famous company that produces Baileys Irish Cream! Always keen to improve sales of its spirits, the company had the good idea of creating a made-to-measure dessert to satisfy the most discerning gourmets! And the results are delicious!
The Baileys recipe is so successful that Baileys Cheesecake has become a kind of national dessert, popular with many Irish people!
Fine and delicious, it’s a clever blend of fresh cheese (mascarpone), butter and Bayleys Irish Cream, served on a gourmet shortbread crust. The result is rather rich and a little high in calories, but the whole thing gives you a rather fine, airy cake!
You’ll easily find them in most local Irish pubs and restaurants. Expect to pay less than €5 a slice… with the risk of developing a taste for it and coming back for more!
This cheesecake is usually served on special family occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, family dinners) or during St. Patrick’s Day. Accompanied by a good coffee or an Irish breakfast tea, this cake is a marvel!
