Baileys Chocolate Mint Pudding Parfaits
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Pudding:
- 2 cups (480ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (40g) cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Baileys Mint Cream:
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream (Mint Chocolate flavor if available)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- A few drops of green food coloring (optional)
For the Toppings:
- Crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- Mini chocolate chips or mint chocolate candies
- Whipped cream (optional garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Chocolate Pudding:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla until fully melted and smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare the Baileys Mint Cream:
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Add the Baileys, powdered sugar, and green food coloring (if using), and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Parfaits:
- In clear dessert glasses or small jars, layer the chocolate pudding and Baileys mint cream.
- Add a layer of crushed cookies between the layers for crunch.
- Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, ending with a dollop of Baileys mint cream on top.
- Garnish:
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or mint candies on top. Add a sprig of fresh mint or a swirl of whipped cream for an elegant touch.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
