Time to Irish up the Ice Cream

A tiny bottle just right for the job!

In honour of Katie's Dads retirement we had him over for dinner this weekend and I racked my brain trying to think of  a good meal to serve him that incorporated some of his favourite things. I remembered back to the first Christmas I spent with Katie's family, and how to ingratiate myself to Katie's Dad I brought him a big bottle of Bailey's. No need to say the gift went over well and I enjoyed a glass of Bailey's on Ice with him that evening. With this memory as inspiration I searched the internet for a Bailey's themed dessert and came across this Nigella Lawson recipe for Baileys Ice Cream. This recipe takes a basic vanilla ice cream as a base and right at the end throws in the Baileys to tranform it into something unique and delicious.


The cream, milk and vanilla bean inparting their flavours.

Mixing the eggs and sugar until it resembles mayonaise in colour. Luckily the mixer did all the hard work.

Broke out the ice cream maker for the second time, and it worked wonders again.

No need to notice the tiny corner missing. We had to test it out to make sure it was good!
