Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flavoring & Garnish
- 1 cup Irish cream liqueur
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed cookies
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture until it forms soft peaks, which means the cream will hold its shape but still be soft and fluffy.
- Incorporate Irish Cream and Cocoa: Gently fold in 1 cup of Irish cream liqueur and 1/4 cup cocoa powder into the whipped cream mixture. Folding carefully preserves the airy texture while evenly blending the flavors.
- Assemble the Dessert Layers: Take serving glasses and start layering by adding a portion of the whipped mixture, followed by a sprinkle of 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup crushed cookies. Repeat layers as desired to create a visually appealing dessert.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the assembled glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up for the best indulgent experience.
- Serve: After chilling, serve these Irish Cream Desserts chilled as a sophisticated and creamy treat perfect for any occasion.
Notes
- For a stronger cocoa flavor, sift the cocoa powder before folding it in to avoid lumps.
- Use freshly crushed cookies for better texture; chocolate wafers or shortbread work well.
- Adjust sugar amount according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Ensure the heavy cream is cold for better whipping results.
- These desserts can be made up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated covered.
