A whole week of Baileys desserts and were saving the best for last. I cant remember what exactly inspired me to make all my recipes for this week with Baileys Irish Cream, but high fives for coming up with that idea. Am I correct?
These Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake Parfaits combine Baileys-infused chocolate, cream cheese, and whipped cream. This no-bake cheesecake has the right light and airy texture!
HELLOOO, cheesecake is my jam especially if its a no-bake cheesecake. The idea for these shooters came from my No-Bake Whiskey Spiked Chocolate Parfaits, do you notice a trend here?. I loved it so much that I even made this recipe into a 9-inch No-Bake Baileys Cheesecake, incase you wanted to serve a larger crowd.
This mousse is produced with chocolate that has been infused with Baileys. This is the type of dessert that requires a really good quality chocolate.Some of the options areGhirardelli Chocolate BarsorCallebaut Callets which are seriously amazing.
The chocolate is melted with some heavy whipping cream, and then the Baileys Irish Cream is added. It is best to allow this to cool prior to adding it to the cream cheese.
For the filling, you have two choices. You can use Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream. Personally, I prefer homemade whipped cream. Its an extra step, but its worth it. I find this generally helps makes the mousse even more light and airy.
You can use any type of cookie for the crust of these parfaits. I choose graham cracker just because its my favorite crust with have with a cheesecake, but Oreos would also be really good. The cookie crumbs are mixed with a little bit of butter to help hold it together.
I also topped these parfaits with a little bit of homemade whipped cream and a strawberry. You dont have to wait for St. Paddys Day for these Bailey Irish Cream Cheesecake Parfaits. I grant you permission to enjoy them all year.
