I would. But then again I had a glass of champagne and the occasional sip of beer from my husband's glass during the 3rd tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-407740 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:37:11 +0000 banana 407740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I LOVE how you broke that down! haha. Awesome. You have some mad math skillzzzzz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406645 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:51:56 +0000 Mrs. Blue 406645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I agree with @blackbird. I'm super paranoid about alcohol consumption during pregnancy, but the amount that would be left is so negligible that I cannot fathom a way that it would be harmful even if you ate the whole pie! </p> <p>Now, I know some rum cakes, etc. have a drizzle that is poured over the cake in which the alcohol has not been cooked at all or very little. I personally wouldn't eat things like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406636 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:47:54 +0000 MamaMoose 406636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally I would say the booze would have baked off but if you can taste alcohol I wouldn't risk it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406620 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:37:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 406620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a baked dessert SHOULD be okay... but I know how you feel.. my SIL made a delicious rum cake when I was pg and it tasted heavily of rum - but sooo good. I guess the icing did have rum in it (that wasn't baked) so I only have a bit but it was heaven!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406614 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:36:00 +0000 Weagle 406614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: haha... only if you need an excuse :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406550 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:12:16 +0000 DillonLion 406550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the alcohol baked off during the baking process, I ate it. One time, however, I tried a cobbler and it still tasted heavily of alcohol so after one bite I tossed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406543 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:09:21 +0000 blackbird 406543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, i agree, you can't possibly eat so much pie that you'll get drunk off it :) It may still taste like bourbon, but a chunk of the alcohol has most certainly burned off!</p> <p>Bake a pie for 1 hour, it has 25% of the alcohol content left. Paula Deen's recipe has 2 TB of alcohol in it. FOR THE WHOLE PIE. But let's say you get crazy and use 4 Tablespoons. Burn off 75% of that, and it's 1 TB of alcohol left in the entire pie. Let's say you have 1/8th of a slice--which is generous. That means you are consuming 0.125 TB of liquor, or approximately 1/3 of a teaspoon. </p> <p>Yeah. Can't hurt you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406344 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:50:16 +0000 tororojo 406344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: Is that a challenge? Muahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406298 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:35:19 +0000 yoursilverlining 406298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it either. I mean, how much alcohol is really going to be in one slice of pie? Not much at all, especially in a cooked type of pie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406297 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:34:28 +0000 Weagle 406297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt you could eat enough pie to cause any harm even if it doesn't cook off completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406292 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:33:44 +0000 tororojo 406292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waaah! Okay, I had one more bite and that was it. I have no problem not drinking alcohol during pregnancy (though I do enjoy it usually), but I can't believe I am altering my dessert plans, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406271 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:26:15 +0000 banana 406271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't eat it either. Juuuuust in case, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406251 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:16:54 +0000 Mrsbells 406251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldnt eat it. I avoided alcohol 100% during pregnancy since all the experts say they dont know the exact amount of alcohol that is safe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406237 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:12:33 +0000 Bookish 406237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have a problem with it. To me, it's the same as drinking an O'Douls (non-alcholic beer with .5% alcohol), which I will be drinking occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406198 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:58:46 +0000 boiledpnut 406198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything that is cooked with alcohol still has some alcohol in it after it's cooked. Even baking something for 2 hours still leaves a small amount behind. Just not worth it to me. </p> <p><a href="http://www.foodreference.com/html/talcoholincooking.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodreference.com/html/talcoholincooking.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406197 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:58:27 +0000 photojane 406197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i say go for it! regardless, one piece of pie isn't going to harm your baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406184 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:51:35 +0000 littlek 406184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avoided desserts with alcohol when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406183 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:50:45 +0000 pl0508 406183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think the cooking makes the alcohol moot. </p> <p> I haven't had a sip of alcohol during pregnancy but I had chicken and waffles with bourbon infused syrup for our anniversary dinner - and they were DIVINE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406172 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:47:38 +0000 JerricaBenton 406172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure a baked dessert would have had all the alcohol burned off during the cooking process and just leave behind the flavor, either way I don't think a bite or two is an issue (and I am not drinking anything alcoholic during pregnancy.) I've made sauces with sherry and didn't think twice about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406167 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:46:28 +0000 wheres_c 406167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not avoided boozy desserts during the pregnancy. Everything appears fine so far at 37 weeks although LO is not here yet.<br /> Based on my cooking experience, I felt like it was acceptable and not risky. I just had small pieces and enjoyed them very much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406164 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:44:59 +0000 Crisark 406164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't eat anything that has alcohol in it. But, that's just me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boozy-desserts-okay-for-pregnancy#post-406151 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:38:53 +0000 tororojo 406151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A co-worker made chocolate pecan pie that has bourbon in it...tastes delicious but pretty boozy so I only had the one bite. But it was delicious! Should I assume that if a dessert tastes like alcohol, it's not okay, or is that silly? If it's silly, I want to go have a piece. :) </p>
