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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
