Baileys Chocolate Truffles

Baileys Chocolate Truffles

Unwrap your dessert dreams with these Baileys Chocolate Truffles—boozy, creamy, and ridiculously easy to make. Perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself, no fancy skills needed.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (go for the good stuff, it makes all the difference)
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (I swear by Ghirardelli for that melt-in-your-mouth feel)
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream (because why not?)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for that final, dusty hug)

Instructions

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer—watch closely to avoid boiling.
  2. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Baileys Irish Cream until fully incorporated. Tip: If the mixture seizes, a splash of warm cream can bring it back.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture, then roll between your palms to form 1-inch balls. Tip: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
  6. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated. Tip: For a cleaner finish, shake off excess powder in a sieve.
  7. Chill the truffles for another 30 minutes before serving to set the shape.

Crave-worthy doesn’t begin to cover it—these truffles are velvety with a kick, perfect alongside coffee or as a cheeky midnight snack. Try rolling them in crushed nuts or coconut flakes for a twist.

Baileys Chocolate Mousse

Baileys Chocolate Mousse

Oh, you’re in for a treat! This Baileys Chocolate Mousse is the creamy, dreamy dessert you didn’t know you needed. Whip it up in minutes, and watch it disappear even faster.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (chilled, because cold cream whips up fluffier)
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream (the star of the show, go for the original)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted, for that rich, velvety base)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (sifted, to avoid lumps in your mousse)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure, for that deep, aromatic flavor)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Tip: Chill your bowl and whisk for 10 minutes beforehand for even better results.
  2. Gently fold in the Baileys Irish Cream, melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Tip: Fold slowly to keep the mixture airy.
  3. Divide the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Tip: Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream (because why not add a little buzz?)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (the real deal, none of that imitation stuff)
  • A pinch of salt (it’s the secret to balancing the sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer—watch for those tiny bubbles around the edges.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately add the chocolate chips. Let them sit for a minute to soften—patience is key here.
  3. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Tip: A silicone spatula works wonders for this.
  4. Whisk in the Baileys, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined. Tip: If the mixture seems too thick, a splash more Baileys will loosen it up beautifully.
  5. Transfer to a fondue pot or a serving bowl. Tip: Keep it warm over a low flame or a tea light to maintain that perfect dippable consistency.

Now, the fondue is luxuriously smooth with a hint of Baileys that’s just bold enough. Serve with strawberries, pretzels, or even cubes of pound cake for a mix of textures that’ll keep everyone dipping.

Baileys Chocolate Cupcakes

Baileys Chocolate Cupcakes

These Baileys Chocolate Cupcakes are your next obsession. Think rich, moist chocolate cake with a boozy Baileys twist—yes, please!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (I swear by King Arthur for consistent results)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed gives a deeper flavor)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (freshness matters—check the date!)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (I use sea salt for a cleaner taste)
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream (the star of the show, obviously)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (room temp blends smoother)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure extract makes all the difference)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for that perfect sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. In another bowl, mix Baileys, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring just until mixed—overmixing leads to tough cupcakes.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tip: Rotate the pan halfway for even baking.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Tip: They’re delicate when warm—handle with care.
  8. Once cooled, frost as desired. Tip: A Baileys-infused buttercream takes these to the next level.

Serve these cupcakes with a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra decadence. The texture? Ultra-moist with a tender crumb, and the flavor—rich chocolate with a hint of Baileys that’s just irresistible.
