20 Irish Cream Dessert Recipes for St. Patrick's Day

Irish cream dessert recipes are so popular around St. Patrick's day.  Personally, I think Baileys desserts (and other Irish Cream based ones) are pretty much perfect year round. Today, I'm sharing some of my favorites.

I'm so fond of Irish cream desserts in fact, that I have several rather Baileys rich recipes here on the blog (along with a few where the sweet creamy spirit adds a delightful accent).  I've included my most Irish Cream focused desserts in the collection below, along with some wonderful selections from across the web that truly showcase Baileys Irish Cream. In some of the recipes the alcohol is burnt off during the cooking process. Yet in others, the Baileys desserts are purposely left with a boozy kick from the Irish cream.

Of course, you could simply drink your dessert as  Duck Fart Shot or Buttery Nipple shot.

Irish Cream Dessert Recipes

These Irish cream dessert recipes do not treat the Baileys as an afterthought. In these Baileys desserts it is the featured ingredient!

I tried to find a nice variety among the dessert recipes, while still keeping the strong focus on Irish cream.  I hope you enjoy.
