Any ideas on a good St. Patty's Day or Irish dessert?

Question

I am driving ten hours to Texas to visit my husband training for the airforce, and I want to bring him a good St. Patty's day meal. I am trying to find recipes that will keep well on my trip.

Answer 1

Guinness Ginger Cake

The most unusual thing about this recipe is that stout is substituted for the water or coffee used in most gingerbread recipes. I find it adds a lot of richness and underscores the spices. Since it is made with oil, this cake will stay moist for several days. Dress it up or simply enjoy it on its own, with coffee, tea, or a beer!

Ingredients
1 cup Guinness stout
1 cup molasses
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
3 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon grated, peeled fresh gingerroot

Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9- X 5-inch loaf pan, line the bottom and sides with parchment, and grease the parchment. Alternatively, butter and flour a 6-cup Bundt pan.

In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the stout and molasses and bring to a boil.
Turn off the heat and add the baking soda. Allow to sit until the foam dissipates.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the eggs and both sugars. Whisk in the oil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking powder, cinnamon,
cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Combine the stout mixture with the egg mixture, then whisk this liquid into the flour
mixture, half at a time. Add the fresh ginger and stir to combine.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the top springs back
when gently pressed. Do not open the oven until the gingerbread is almost done,
or the center may fall slightly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

OK for dinner steam 8 cabbage leaves
in another pan cook ground beef onion, garlic & salt & pepper to taste & once cooked drain fat and mix half a jar tomtoe sauce (raggo) put the other half in a baking pan and roll the beef in the cabage leaves. Bake in oven for 30 min

For the cake take or cupcakes take one white cake mix use egg whites mix then add one six ounce lime jello until the mix is green. Use white frosting but take coconut to make grass and decorate with shamrocks and other Irish stuff. Very cute.

We prefer the Snauzen-Shittzles with a snap of ginger for the annual ground hog's day parade, such a grand event this time of year in these parts. Sometime's me little dog, Toby he gets the shittzles when he gets ahold of the Snauzen. Not such a grand event. Although a wee bit green, like the landscape of me homeland. Ahh it brings back such memories. Those days of yore, they hold such lore. Such fond memories of me childhood. Arrggh!! Me matie, I long for the homeland, especially when The St. Patty's Day is coming up. Oh get on with it lad, just put a pint of ale in your hand and drink up and be merry, and sing "Oh Danny BOY!!" Forget thee desserts, eat one another!! May the end of your rainbow always be flled with pots "o gold. Someone stole Me lucky charms. But enough about me and me little dog Toby, you go on now lassie.

It's going to be tough to cart a whole meal that way. You could make reuben sandwiches if you like them...they have corned beef and are pretty hearty. Or a reuben casserole. Or a corned beef casserole that you could heat once you get there.
Or you could just take him some chocolate brownies with green mint frosting and go out to eat so you can spend more time with him rather than cooking. :)

Answer 6

4 tablespoons Pearl barley
1 1/2 pounds Eating apples*
2 ounces Sugar
3/4 tablespoon Double cream
1 liter Water

* Peeled, cored and sliced. . Put the barley in the water and bring to the boil. Add the sliced apples and continue cooking gently until the barley and apples are soft. Press through a sieve, or put through the blender, and put back in the saucepan.
Add the sugar and lemon juice and bring to the boil again. Remove from the heat, allow to cool, and then chill. Serve cool with the cream stirred in.

6 ounces Ready Crust (graham/choc)
1 package Unflavored gelatine (env)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3/4 cup Milk
3/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
6 ounces Semisweet choc chips
2 cups Frozen whipped topping
Choc-dipped strawberries*

*As garnish, if desired. -- In saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatine over milk. Let stand about 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatine is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add chocolate and continue cooking, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted: stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and stir occasionally, adding Bailey's about five minutes after removal from heat. When mixture forms mounds when dropped from spoon, fold in whipped topping.
Turn into crust. Garnish with more whipped topping (or real whipped cream, later, by preference) and strawberries (if desired). Chill at least 4 hours before serving.

4 ounces Butter -- at room temperature
4 ounces Granulated sugar
2 Eggs
4 ounces Self-raising flour
2 tablespoons Coffee essence**
-----IRISH COFFEE SYRUP-----
150 milliliters Strong black coffee
4 ounces Sugar (for coffee syrup)
4 tablespoons Irish whiskey
-----ICING-----
150 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
Confectioners'sugar to taste
1 tablespoon Whiskey -- or to taste
Chopped nuts*

*Or grated chocolate. **This is a concentrated, liquid coffee easily found in Ireland, but probably not in the States. I would dissolve 2 T of a good instant coffee (Taster's Choice or something similar) in an equivalent amount of water, and use that. -- Grease and flour an 8-inch cake pan (preferably a springform cheesecake pan). Preheat oven to 350F. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, adding a little flour and beating well after each addition. Stir in the coffee essence, and mix thoroughly. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes until springy to the touch. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. . To make the Irish coffee syrup, put the coffee and sugar into a small pan and bring up to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Then boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the whiskey. . Wash and dry the pan the cake was baked in, and return the cooled cake to it: then pour the hot coffee syrup all over it. Leave in a cool place for several hours, then turn out. Whip the cream until it's thick, sweeten slightly with confectioners' sugar, and add whiskey to taste. Spread the cake with the whipped cream and chill for an hour before sprinkling with chopped nuts or grated chocolate.
