Irish Cream Banana Special – Using Aldi Irish Cream Liqueur

This dessert is a super simple boozy dessert. Its great for St Pats day as we all know the Irish like a drink or two maybe three. The Irish cream liqueur that you use is also really nice served over ice so would also make a great after diner drink.

Coming from an Irish family this will certainly be received well on St Pats day at our annual family gathering along with some Ballycastle and Dark Chocolate Mousse. We always have a toast to my Grandma and Grandad but I’m not keen on neat whiskey so the Cream liqueur is perfect for me.

This recipe is super simple and quick to make. You just need a blender, pan and glasses for serving. It great for diner parties as can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.

1 small banana
300ml Irish cream liqueur

115g unsalted butter
275ml double cream
