Few things in life are better than dessert – something delicious to savour after dinner, enjoying the extra time in good company with friends, plus, we all know the end of the meal is when the best conversation happens…

The Baileys team has delved deep into our dessert habits with a brand new study, and discovered that we’re not treating ourselves nearly as much as we deserve. The study unveiled that we love dessert more than ever, and the proof is in the pudding as people said it was their favourite thing – over box sets, outfit shopping, and even their pets! 63 percent agreed it was the best part of the meal and makes the evening more fun, and the moment is especially sweet when shared with friends (I will if you will…). Yet, even though we love it so much, it turns out that almost 70 percent* of us grab the bill straight after dinner and dash off, ditching dessert in order to ‘get on top of life’. Emails, obligations and the never-ending to-do list are robbing us of our favourite pleasures. Whatever happened to living in the moment?!

But this September things are about to change, with something truly delicious on the horizon. Get your spoons at the ready for the very first Baileys Dessert Week. here to mark those moments of indulgence that happen when we don’t rush for the bill… Celebrating all things sweet and sumptuous, Baileys will be teaming up with eleven of London’s most-loved restaurants and dessert bars, for an exclusive one-week indulgent feast of one-of-a-kind dessert sensations and irresistible drinks pairings, all designed to tempt us into staying that little bit longer by asking, bill… or Baileys?
