It may make me less of a man, but when it gets a bit cold and festive like it is now, I’ve got to admit I’m pretty partial to a drop of Baileys.
So when the lovely people over at Baileys HQ offered to send me over a bottle of their new hazelnut flavour earlier this week, I couldn’t really say no. Like regular Baileys it’s sweet, creamy and warming, but with an added hint of nuts and caramel. It’s good stuff.
Unlike Old Gregg, I don’t drink my Baileys out of a shoe, I drink it out of a glass like decent folk, but I’ve also discovered you can use it make a really tasty accompaniment to mince pies.
Mix equal quantities of Crème fraiche and Baileys together (either hazelnut or regular), and then dollop a good teaspoon full of the mixture on top of warmed up pies.
Simple and delicious.
