Bailey’s Irish Cream. I remember my first taste. I was barely legal and didn’t have my license with me, and my Dad, my StepMom Pat, and their friends vouched for me. That probably doesn’t happen anymore. They just really thought I should try Bailey’s. I agree and think everyone should, especially this Baileys Irish Cream Recipe Copycat Version.
Irish Cream Recipe – Reverse Engineered
When I was a kid, growing up in the Midwest back in the 60s, Rum, Whiskey or Vanilla Sauce was everywhere, it seemed. It would sneak into Church suppers and funeral luncheons, it was served at school hot lunches, in diners, and sometimes versions of it showed up at home, on some dessert or another.
Irish Bread Pudding with Rum, Whiskey or Vanilla Sauce
I have been making this recipe for Irish Bread Pudding literally since I was a kid – if a teenager is a kid, anyway. I begged the recipe from my friend Cassie’s Mom after I had it at her house. (What kind of kid does that? Maybe I was destined for a food blog even then, although at that time we had our phones hard-wired in and some of us were still on party lines and no one even dreamt of the internet!) It was my first taste ever of bread pudding and it was a revelation.

Irish Apple Pie Cake – there are many names for this part cake, part pie dessert, and just as many recipes. I’ve usually see it as some variation of Irish Apple Pie Cake or Irish Apple Cake and sometimes it’s called a Kerry Cake. And the recipes vary just a bit, too, although they all contain chunks of apple and are made with what is really more of a wet pastry dough than a cake dough.
Irish Apple Pie Cake with Custard Sauce – Creme Anglaise
I just absolutely love Custard Sauce – Creme Anglaise. I don’t see it a lot these days, but you probably know it. It’s the luscious vanilla dessert sauce that tastes like the best premium ice-cream you can imagine and it’s also the base sauce for Floating Islands and a thinner version is used sometimes for our classic Egg Nog. Really, it’s just a thinner, saucy homemade pudding. Yum!
