It’s finally that time of the year where I start prepping my green outfit and my lucky hat, getting ready to see the parades and anyone up for beers? Yay!
Yep, you guessed it… St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner.
Although St Patrick’s Day evolved to become a day of carnival, parade, shamrocks and other happy leprechauns (not to mention alcohol), this Irish-origin festival is also a perfect way to hold a party at home and enjoy the time with family and friends.
I usually prepare the corned beef and cabbage, as well as other dishes but I usually struggled to find that perfect dessert that would complement the tradition of St Patrick’s Day.

Why are these recipes great, you ask?
