Tarry Health Fitness, Weight Loss, Workouts and Healthy Eating Here’s a fun dessert option for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities this week–salted Baileys chocolate truffles!
In a nutshell, I took my favorite vegan cashew truffle recipe and de-raw-ified it by using Baileys instead of almond milk.
It was a wise decision, indeed.
I LOVE St. Patrick’s Day. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays, even though I suffer from flashbacks from dancing during the parade. I did Irish step dance for a while, and we’d light jig down the parade route for a couple of hours in our soft shoes. Pain doesn’t even begin to describe it. The festival and soda bread at the end always made it worthwhile ? I still love traditional Irish music, the wonderful food, and Ireland is a country we’d love to visit one day. The Pilot’s family has a bar in Dublin, so I think we definitely need to go check it out.
Salted Baileys Chocolate Truffles
These little truffles are stored in the freezer, so they’re almost like a cold cocktail (and would go beautifully with this!). A party in your mouth, really ? If you’d like, you can also skip the Baileys and use regular almond milk.
