Until I made homemade Irish Cream! This stuff is like crack! Well, how I imagine crack to be, which is, addictive. I was put on dessert for Thanksgiving at Brad's this Saturday and without an oven was having trouble deciding what to make. Then I saw this recipe. I have been craving Baileys, even in this 80 degree heat, and thought why not put this on this list of "things I love that I can now make from scratch." See unemployment's good for something. Learned/practiced whilst unemployed list consists of the following:
ricotta, paneer, cottage cheese
chapati/tortillas
broth
I still want to try my hand at homemade pizza dough/naan. Perhaps tomorrow...
For the Irish Cream I used Maria's recipe but didn't include eggs because I don't have a blender and I didn't think it would mix well together. Recipe as follows:
1 1/2 cups Whiskey
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 little box of whipping cream
big spoonful of chocolate hazelnut spread
spoonful of instant coffee
vanilla extract
coconut etract
couldn't find almond extract
Just give it a little mix and you'll have your head in the bowl all night. It's really super sweet (would be good on ice cream!) so to serve I usually cut it with some milk and perhaps a bit more whiskey. But if you're drinking it as a dessert I would just toss it on some ice and dive in.
Paul and I are also making rosemary garlic mashed potatoes, and my all time favorite go to app, figs with goats cheese, almonds and honey. Yummmm. I can't wait to see the spread on Saturday. And then do it all over again at Nina and Kenny's on Thursday! If I can't be home, at least I can have Thanksgiving with friends...twice!
