A collection of creamy and decadent Bailey's recipes made using store-bought Irish Cream liqueur or your own homemade Baileys. From cheesecakes to cocktails, fudge to trifles and so much more! These adults-only boozy desserts are always crowd pleasers.
What Is Baileys?
Baileys is a brand of Irish Cream liqueur.
This type of liqueur is thick, creamy and very sweet with chocolate and vanilla flavours throughout.
It's basically dessert in a glass!
It is often served on it's own over ice as an after-dinner drink or mixed to make Baileys inspired cocktails.
If you prefer, you can easily make your own homemade Baileys using my simple recipe.
Baileys Irish Cream is the perfect ingredient to add to your favourite desserts!

I have always loved Baileys Irish Cream and always made my own too. Very similar to this recipe. I have found the BEST THING for mixing it instead of using a blender is the Tupperware Turbo Chef. It is great because you do the mixing by pulling the cord at whatever speed it best for what you are doing. I always use regular cream and it never thickens or splits. Well worth the money. You made me make a batch tonight hahaha.
