I had to get in at least one sweet recipe perfect for St Patrick’s Day festivities. Whether you celebrate or not, this is a must make for fans of Baileys Irish cream!

Bonus, it comes together super quick and you can eat it warm or chilled. I’m more of a chilled pudding girl. But growing up, I remember not having the patience to wait. Plus, I didn’t want to let it sit and get that weird pudding skin that sometimes happens if it’s left uncovered. You know what I mean. Pudding skin is bad. But, chocolate and quick desserts are good. Very good… especially so when Baileys is involved!

    It’s not even 8 in the morning and I kind of want to have this for breakfast. I love the Bailey’s addition. I bet it makes it so creamy and slightly boozy. The perfect anytime dessert. If I brought this to work, everyone would just think it’s regular pudding ;)

    Would this work with instant pudding and Cool Whip?

      You could certainly try it, but I can’t promise it will turn out using that method.

    Will this thicken up a bit after chilled?

      Yes, pudding firms up slightly once chilled.
