Classic Irish Desserts to Make Your St. Patrick's Day Celebration Extra Sweet
Forget the green food dye and make these traditional treats instead!
When it comes to celebrating St. Paddy's Day, one thing that's absolutely essential (besides the green beer, of course) is a spread full of the most festive and delicious St. Patrick's Day desserts. But instead of picking up the green food dye, why not indulge in one of these traditional Irish desserts, all infused with The Emerald Isle's best and most classic flavors?
This year, dive into some of these recipes to round out your filling St. Patrick's Day meal — including everything from Irish apple cake to barmbrack (a traditional Irish fruit cake) and, of course, a classic Irish soda bread. Try bread and butter pudding with homemade vanilla custard or Irish shortbread toffee bars made almost entirely of rich Irish butter. If you really want to serve something delicious and decadent, go for the Baileys cheesecake. Layers of dark chocolate cookie crust, creamy cheesecake filling and a luscious chocolate ganache topping will make this St. Patrick's Day go down as the best in history.
And if you're looking for something boozy, don't worry: we have desserts that involve Guinness and spiked Irish coffee, too! No matter how you're spending St. Paddy's this year, these scrumptious bites will definitely be the highlight of your celebration — especially if you're pairing them with some festive St. Patrick's Day drinks.
Ireland is famous for its lush green landscape and rolling hills. When it comes to food, Irish cuisine is known for stews, colcannon, and of course, beer!
But believe it or not, Irish desserts deserve their fair share of praise, too.
