17+ Whiskey Desserts

Published: Jun 27, 2022 by Ali

These whiskey desserts are easy recipes that are guaranteed to impress your guests. Bourbon whiskey adds a rich, deep flavor to many desserts. Try one or all of these favorite recipes from the list!

What Is The Best Whiskey To Use For Baked Desserts?

When baking with whiskey, it is important to use a bourbon whiskey that you enjoy the taste of. 

Ideally you should save top-shelf bourbon whiskey to drink on its own. However, you also don’t want to use the lowest quality whiskey for baking either. 

Some brands that are great for baking include Jim Bean and Knob Creek.

Does Baking Burn Off Alcohol in Whiskey?

In general, baking does not fully burn off all of the alcohol because most desserts are not baked for long enough. 

It would take up to 3 hours of baking to fully burn off all the alcohol content. 

It is safe to assume that some, but not all of the alcohol has been burned off in these whiskey bourbon desserts. Therefore, only serve these desserts to people who are of legal drinking age and are able to consume alcohol.
