Now that you’ve prepared this delightful Cream Delight with Whiskey, let’s talk about serving and pairing. This dessert is perfect for any occasion, be it a family dinner or a celebration with friends.

If you want to stick to traditional Irish flavors, you can’t go wrong by serving it alongside Irish coffee or Baileys Irish cream liqueur. Additionally, it pairs well with hot chocolate and coffee infused with a touch of whiskey.

If you’re looking for something less traditional, match your Cream Delight with a glass of whiskey cocktail like an Irish Eyes or Whiskey Sour. If you prefer wine, go for a sweet white dessert wine like Muscat or late harvest Rieslings.

Another great option is to pair this dessert with fresh berries such as strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. The tart sweetness of berries will contrast the richness of the Cream Delight nicely and make for a refreshing after-dinner treat.

Finally, if you have some time on your hands and are feeling adventurous, try making an Irish whiskey cake recipe that would pair oh so well with your Cream Delight.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

If you want to plan ahead for a special occasion or simply save time later, you can make the cream delight with whiskey in advance. After preparing the dessert, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. The recipe can be made about two days ahead of time, but it’s best not to keep it longer than that.

When reheating the cream delight, avoid using a microwave as it may separate ingredients and ruin the texture. Instead, use an oven or stovetop for reheating. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and place the cream dish there for 10-15 minutes until heated through. For stovetop reheating, use medium heat and stir frequently until it is warmed evenly.

Storing is also important to keep in mind while making this exquisite dessert. You can store leftover whiskey cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to serve again, whip the cream to refresh its lightness and airy texture.

This Irish recipe’s main ingredient is whiskey which needs extra care while storing for reuse. Keep the bottle of Irish Whiskey at room temperature without directly exposing it to sunlight. Also, set aside an opened bottle of Whiskey and consume within six months for top-notch flavor.

In addition, I recommend preparing all ingredients before starting so you can have a clear view of how much whipping cream, whiskey, oatmeal, honey, almonds and lemon juice will be used for each serving size or recipe variation can be made accordingly.

Overall, whether you’re planning on making this delicious treat in advance or need to store leftovers, follow these simple tips to ensure that your cream delight with whiskey remains fresh and tasty for all your future indulgences.

5. Incorporate lemon juice and raw oatmeal: As strange as it may seem in a sweet dish, adding just a teaspoon of lemon juice and half a cup of raw oatmeal can bring out Ireland’s traditional flavors in the dish!
