I have to hand it to the gift-givers in my life — they sure know how to make me ooh and aah. Take this gorgeous set of plates from my sister…
The only way to describe their color is Northern Lights. (A befitting gift from my Minnesota sis, eh?) With their deep amber/reddish center surrounded by luxurious rays of gold/green/brown (depending on the light), I needed to make a dessert befitting of their wonder.
Leave it to my friend, Shirley (Welcome To Shirley’s Luxury Haven) to supply just the thing. Tiramisu with Bailey’s Irish Cream. Ooh! Aah!
While Tiramisu is traditionally made by dipping lady fingers in espresso or coffee-flavored liqueur, the good folks at Bailey’s now make a “a hint of coffee” version, too — the best of both worlds.
Thus, a befitting dessert was born. Or rather, re-created. I made this dessert to participate in Shirley’s “DIY This Christmas with 12 Lovely Recipes” challenge and I’m so-o-o glad I did.
Which just goes to prove that good things happen when you leave milk and cookies out for Santa.
Enjoying the wonder of it all,
~ Kim
A taste of home with a reminder of my trip to Italy what more could I want. Those are some nice plates
Glad it brought back some fond memories for you, Mike!
Tiramisu is my favorite! (Love those plates, too.)
Shary, I made homemade Mascarpone Cheese to make it extra special! Those plates just called for “the works!”
Missy, I love dishes, too (even though we’ve eaten off of the same ol’ plates for years!) It was a treat to get something new and beautiful!
That looks YUMMY!!!!!!!!! Love the plates too. I’m kinda a fanatic for dishes! I have at least 15 sets!!! lol
Amazing dishes AND tiramisu WITH Bailies? *thud* that was me fainting from pure joy!
Lol, Ann! That was a smile-inducing comment! :)
Thank u Kim, for trying out my recipe & I’m delighted it was a success! Your Tiramisu pix has been added to my slide in my blog & also @ my Readers’ Corner in Facebook.
Tried to add your link & info in the album but it think Facebook is still in a holiday mood, it just refuses to let me edit or add any info. Lol! Will try again later :)
Gorgeous plating indeed, to pair with this wonderful dessert! Love it, dear!
Shirley, I’ll definitely be making this again! Will check out your FB link later this evening (or whenever it lets me!) — thanks. ~ Kim
Done with the links & featured on my Facebook wall! Have you seen the slide in my blog? BTW, tried to tag u in the pix in Facebook but failed. Can u look at your settings? Cheers!
I like the new look of your blog! Also, the dessert is one of my favorites and the idea of using Baileys is great, definitely one worth trying-yum!
The plates are beautiful, I love getting gifts for my kitchen or dining room. Have a great day!
Tina, I’ve gotten so many wonderful gifts for my cooking endeavors, I can’t even begin to count! That’s half the fun of it, isn’t it? Encouragement from family & friends means the world to me. :)

Thanks, Gursahiba! I’ve always loved Tiramisu, too, but that Bailey’s really took it over the top!

Awesome plates, equally awesome tiramisu! Looks amazing
I wish you could see those plates in the sunlight — kind of tricky taking pictures of them (!) but I like the challenge of “dessert art.” :)
I loved the idea of using Baileys irish cream. Your picture reveals how perfect culinarian you are! Loved thiss tiramisu!
