Gaelige ice cream (pronounced ‘gway-lee-guh') is easily made. The liqueur is the ingredient that gives this ice cream its distinctive flavor.
3 bananas
3 oz. walnuts, chopped fine
4-6 tablespoons Irish coffee liqueur
2 oz. granulated sugar
½ pint cream
2 egg whites
slices of banana dipped in lemon juice
walnuts to decorate
Slice bananas. Mix bananas, chopped walnuts, sugar, cream and 1/3 of the liqueur. Beat egg whites until firm and fold into the banana mixture. Place mixture into an ice cream freezer. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours.
Arrange in ice cream in dishes. Decorate with remaining fruit and nuts. Pour remaining liqueur over ice cream.
