What is Baileys Irish Cream?

Baileys is a brand of Irish cream liqueur, which is made with cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey. It can be served straight, on the rocks, or mixed into cocktails. One of my favorite uses? Mixing into coffee to make an "Irish coffee".

While Baileys is not the only brand of Irish cream available, it is seemingly the most popular and is widely available at liquor stores across the country. Other popular brands include Kerrygold, Carolans, and Saint Brendan's.

It's not hard to see why this creamy, chocolate liquor makes the perfect addition to mousse, cupcakes, truffles and more. It's especially popular for holidays like St. Patrick's Day and Christmas.

What can you make with Baileys Irish cream?

Baileys is easy to incorporate into many baked and no-bake dessert recipes. Make homemade Baileys desserts like:

  • Brownies
  • Cakes
  • Cupcakes
  • Cheesecake
  • Mousse
  • Cookies
  • Ice cream
  • Truffles
  • Pies

    I have been looking for recipes using Bailey's for quite some time. I'm still looking for chocolate drink recipes using hollow chocolate santas, marshmallow and Bailey's.
