RECIPE TIPS

SARA SAYS...

If you like Baileys, you are going to love this!

I usually make it with condensed milk but

had a flash of inspiration when I saw a jar

of dulce de leche, the soft spoonable toffee

often used to make banoffee pie, in the

supermarket. If you want to make a batch

to give as gifts, stick a label on the bottles to

make sure that the lucky recipient knows

to store it in the fridge.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, December 2007
