10 Bailey's Recipes for St. Patrick's Day

By Melinda Hershey, Staff Writer

Bailey's Irish Cream is a staple in St. Patrick's Day drinks and desserts. Here are some sweet ways to use this lucky liqueur.

Bailey's-Spiked Tiramisu

This rich Bailey's tiramisu is worth the work! Serve after dinner with Irish coffee.

Irish Cream Latte

A Bailey's-spiked latte is the perfect end to your St. Patrick's Day feast. We love it with a squirt of whipped cream (and maybe even a drizzle of chocolate sauce).

Chocolate Stout & Whiskey Cupcakes with Bailey's Frosting

Infused with three types of alcohol, these chocolate stout cupcakes are sure to be a hit at any St. Patrick's Day bash. The Bailey's frosting is very sweet, so just a little goes a long way!

Irish Cream Pudding Parfaits

This boozy Bailey's parfait is a unique take on a classic dessert (or even breakfast). If you prefer, substitute dried cherries, raisins or cranberries for the currants.

Bailey's Truffle Bites

Using just four ingredients, these chocolate Bailey's truffles are simple to make and fun to eat. These can easily be made ahead to save on time. Roll them in cocoa or chocolate sprinkles instead of sugar, if desired.

Irish Cream Mini Cheesecakes

If you prefer portion-controlled desserts, these mini Bailey's cheesecakes are up your alley. They also lend themselves well to any sweet topping. We like pie filling, chocolate sauce or whipped cream.

Vanilla & Bailey's Fruit Dip

Pack in some produce on St. Patrick's Day with the help of this rich Bailey's fruit dip. We recommend making a double batch if you're having guests.

Luck of the Irish Root Beer Float

Spike a traditional root beer float with a shot of Bailey's for some fun St. Paddy's flair. This classic treat will never be the same!

Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake

This decadent spiked cheesecake might be our favorite way to use Bailey's--ever. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top.

Quick Irish Cream Fudge

If you've never made fudge before, you might be surprised at how easy it is to throw together. This Irish cream fudge takes just 5 minutes to mix up before chilling it to set in the fridge.
