Baileys Chocolate Pudding with Baileys Whipped Cream
Creamy homemade Baileys chocolate pudding with Baileys sweetened whipped cream topping and chocolate shavings. A perfect treat for St Patrick’s Day.
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!
A classic dessert with a fun boozy twist, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!
Easy and creamy homemade chocolate pudding, spiked with Baileys Irish cream. Individual servings are topped off with Baileys sweetened whipped cream and a dusting of chocolate shavings. A fun dessert for a special occasion or any time of the year!
Be sure to add this fun dessert to your baking plans!
Baileys Chocolate Pudding with Baileys Whipped Cream
Ingredients
Pudding:
- 1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 C heavy cream
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 C whole milk
- 1/4 C granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 1/4 C Baileys Irish cream
Whipped cream:
- 1 C heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp Baileys Irish cream
- 3 Tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Whisk together heavy cream and egg yolk, then pour into cocoa mixture, mixing with a wooden spoon until smooth and thick.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and sugar. Whisk gently to dissolve sugar. When bubbles form along the edge of the pan, remove from heat and whisk in cocoa mixture until smooth.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. When large bubbles form, remove from heat, stir in chocolate, vanilla and Baileys. Whisk until completely smooth.
- Divide between serving dishes. Enjoy immediately or cover gently and chill until ready to serve.
- In a medium bowl beat together heavy cream, Baileys and powdered sugar until glossy and stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon onto chilled pudding cups.
- Serve with optional chocolate shavings.
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 ;)
A little boozy pudding for breakfast never hurt anyone ;)
This would definitely be an indulgent treat, but a delicious one nonetheless. :) Yum!
Thanks Erin!
That looks delicious! Bailey’s and chocolate is such a great combo – this looks like a perfect dessert!

Thanks Amanda!
WOWZERS. I want this for dinner! Pinned :) !

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.
