Notes

We won the entire family over with this special treat. It was great for the holiday season, but could be just as delicious for any occasion at all. If you are a fan of Bailey's, you must try this. If you aren't yet, this dessert might convert you. It's incredibly rich and light at the same time. Therefore, a small piece really satisfies. We hope you, your family and friends enjoy this as much as we did.
