Baileys chocolat Luxe Easter banana cheesecake recipe.

Baileys-chocolat-Luxe-recipeBaileys chocolat Luxe Easter banana cheesecake recipe. 

The whole Easter holiday weekend had sped by. I had a really busy three days of doing Instagram takeovers, hosting a birthday party, and Spring cleaning my kitchen cabinets.

I celebrated the end of the Easter weekend with friends and family. We cooked tapas dishes to share, and I made this Easter banana cheesecake with Baileys chocolat luxe and Baileys Irish cream.

I decided to do away with the standard three course meal portions for the party, and to embrace that fun Tapas concept of sharing our food.Baileys-chocolat-luxe-cheesecake-recipeI love drinking Baileys Irish cream , so you can imagine my delight, when the postman delivered the Baileys chocolat Luxe. It’s a blend of decadent Belgian chocolate and Baileys Original cream.

I can still remember enjoying the limited edition Baileys Pumpkin Spice version.Baileys-cheesecake-recipe

How does the cake look?

To continue with the party theme of sharing our food, I decided not to slice the cheese cake into separate portions. Instead, we all shared, by dipping our spoons into the whole cake. It was so fun.The Baileys chocolat Luxe in the cheese cake was so more-ish, so we all decided to pour more in glasses to share.Pairing the cheesecake with the Baileys chocolat Luxe drink was absolutely divine. Even better because we were all sharing the experience together, as we chatted and laughed.
Hope you have enjoyed the post. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
