What happens if you lock three adults into a kitchen with several bottles of liquor? Any ideas? Anyone? Well… they will come up with some delicious desserts of course! What did you think?! ;)
Get ready for the Baileys Treat Collective!
Master mixologist Maria Gorbatschova, ice cream expert David Heinz and me, myself and I as the one in charge for baked goods are the new “Treat Collective” from Baileys*. Three foodies who love sweet stuff are creating new and exciting recipes.
Some time ago, Maria, David and myself met in Berlin to spend a day in a kitchen together, creating new recipes for sweets and drinks with Baileys. We talked a lot, laughed a lot. We were baking, mixing drinks and munching sweets all day. Fortunately, we had a camera with us so you can see a bit of what happened that day ;) You can find the video on the Baileys Facebook page via this link: Baileys Treat Collective Video*.
If you are a fan of Baileys, I think we can offer you some really nice recipes. We made delicious desserts and a cocktail especially for Christmas, so you can get an idea what’s possible to create with Baileys. Delicious Baileys speculoos cheesecakes, ice cream sandwiches with a brioche bun, speculoos ice cream covered with roasted almonds, Baileys whipped cream and a cocktail called “Russian Tea Time” with Créme de Cassis and Baileys Irish Cream. Just in case you need something do indulge yourself with a delicious dessert or drink ;)
This was only the beginning! We had so many ideas for more delicious recipes – I think you will see much more in the future. Stay tuned! Treat Up! Oh and of course be a responsible drinker! www.DrinkIQ.com. And now get ready for some nice Baileys recipes! Enjoy!

Brioche Eis-Sandwich mit Spekulatiuseis im Mandelmantel, Baileys-Sahne, Fleur de Sel und Chilliflocken
Brioche Ice cream sandwiches with speculoos ice cream and Baileys whipped cream
- Prep Time: 20
- Total Time: 480
Description
Delicious brioche ice cream sandwich with speculoos ice cream and Baileys whipped cream.
Ingredients
For the speculoos ice cream (1kg)
- 4.2 oz. gingery cookies (speculoos cookies)
- 15.2 fl. oz. milk (3.8% fat)
- 6.7 fl. oz. heavy cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1.4 oz. powdered milk
- 3.9 oz. sugar
- 0.7 oz. honey
- 2.5 oz. glucose
For the baileys whipped cream
- 6.7 fl. oz. heavy cream
- 0.7 fl. oz. Baileys Irish Cream
- 0.3 oz. sugar
For the finish
- 3.5 oz. almonds, slivered
- brioche bun
Instructions
- Crush the cookies and add to a large bowl. Pour the milk on top and let soak for about 1 hour at room temperature. Strain through a coarse strainer, then through a fine thieve. Try not to get any mashed cookies into the milk you collect. You need 15.2 fl. oz of speculoos milk, so you might have to refill with some more regular milk.
- Add the milk and heavy cream to a large pot. Add the egg yolks and mix in. Heat up while stirring. Add the powdered milk and mix in as soon as the mixture has room temperature. Add the sugar, honey and glucose to the pot as soon as the mixture reaches a temperature of 95°F (35°C) and mix in.
- Stir the mixture constantly and heat up until it reaches a temperature of 185°F (85°C). Use a thermometer. Take off the heat as soon as you reach the temperature. Make sure the mixture does not cook – the egg yolks might curdle.
- Let cool down completely, then place in the fridge for several hours to cool. Add to a ice machine and let it do it’s magic. You can also add the mixture to a large bowl and place in the freezer. Wait until the mixture starts to freeze from the outside to the center (about 90 minutes). Whip the mixture until light and fluffy. Repeat 2-3 times until the ice cream mixture is thick and creamy. Add to an airtight container and let freeze for at least two hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Add the slivered almonds to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and toast for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool down.
- Add the heavy cream, Baileys and sugar to a bowl and mix on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Cut a brioche bun in half and remove some of the dough to get more room for the filling. Make a nice ball of ice cream and roll in the toasted almonds until covered completely. Place on top of the bottom part of the brioche, add some whipped cream and sprinkle with fleur de sel and chili flakes. Close with the top part of the brioche and serve.
Notes
- Enjoy!

*I have partnered with Baileys for this post. That’s why I have to declare this here in Germany as Advertising. All I wrote in this article is still based on my own opinion and has not been affected by anybody :)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
