Baileys Coffee Cream Pots
Hubby doesn’t like coffee so rarely do I cook with it, even if it is one of my favourite ingredients. As I’m now on my Christmas break I took the opportunity to get up early (in reality far too early) and set about making some Baileys Coffee Cream Pots for myself as I knew it would take 6 hours to set.
After a lot of impatient waiting (and watching some quite frankly dire daytime TV) the 6 hours eventually passed, just in time to get a photo before the sunset. I have to say it was the perfect dessert for me. Creamy with a generous coffee hit. To often am I disappointed in restaurants with their coffee flavoured desserts as the coffee hit is never enough for me but this was spot on. If I could have 2 puddings on Christmas Day this would be my coffee course…now that’s an idea 2 puddings…sorry I digress.
The only very slight alteration I had to make was the fact I didn’t have any instant coffee in the house so instead used Lyons Coffee Bags that are usually reserved for our camping trips.
