Irish cream is a fixture in many bars. The creamy, sweet liqueur goes so smoothly with coffee drinks and can add a touch of lusciousness to many cocktails. Even on its own, a sip of this rich nectar feels like getting a warm hug. Irish cream is excellent in so many recipes other than drinks, too. Check out some of these users' recipes starring this favorite Irish tipple.
“This was a delish addition for St. Paddy's day! There was just a lone morsel left after the family descended.”
-JessHinkson
"Wow! The cake is superb! So easy to make. It rises up nice and light, yet stays very moist and the flavor is rich and delicious! Perfect texture.”
-Pam in the Kitchen
“I substituted low-fat Greek yogurt for the milk and vanilla pudding, and it made no difference whatsoever, except probably made it even more healthy.”
-Kumquat the Cats fr
"A very festive recipe that is also tasty to have any time of the year. The recipe was very easy to follow and produced moist cupcakes. When making the frosting please, please sift the powdered sugar when adding it to the butter! That way you won't get lumps like I did.”

This recipe worked out great for St. Patrick's Day! Who knew making your own frosting could be so easy and so much better than store bought?”
-Ariane T.
"Tasted great! Pretty easy-to-follow recipe. I wasn't sure if the water bath should be preheated. Another site said use boiling water so I did. Seemed to work well.”

"What's not to love about this? It's so good! Easy and tasty.”
-lazyme
"Absolutely wonderful treat and so indulgent. This is my favourite after-dinner drink. Although I'll admit to adding a little more Baileys!”
-Shuzbud
“Fairly easy to put together and nice creamy taste that looked and tasted like I'd really worked.”
-Bonnie G 2
"Yummy! I got a bottle of Baileys for Christmas and this was one of the first recipes I decided to make. It was absolutely delicious and looked as pretty as the picture. I also made only half the frosting and it was enough.”
-Roxanne J.R.
"I made a few changes to make these five stars. I increased the Baileys to milk ratio, making it half a cup each. I increased the brown sugar a tad. I used one packet of Starbucks Via for the instant coffee and I used 1/4 cup canola oil instead of the butter. I baked them at 400 for about 15 minutes and they were perfect. Love the powdered sugar on top."
-Edesia
"This is very rich. I could only eat a very small serving, but it was delicious. The instructions were easy to follow, except they don't say what to do with the first 1/2 cup cream (common sense said to put it in with the chocolate).”
-littleturtle
"Oh my, was this ever yummy! No eggnog to be found and I didn't really feel in the mood to make my own eggnog, so used milk. Added a full shot glass of Baileys — rich and decadent!"
-LainieBug
“I mixed the Baileys and heavy cream together from the beginning. Whips up just fine that way. I might add the sugar with the cream too next time instead of dusting. There will be a next time; in fact, I think that time is right now."
-Wish I Could Cook
"I make this in a large mug and double the ingredients. It's a great warmer-upper after being out in the snow!"
-Terri F.
"These are great. I make them twice a year for a 95-year-old Irish priest I know and he loves them. So do I! They do need to be refrigerated to shape easy.”
-KitKat824
"Very good taste. I used the full dose of Baileys and reduced the sugar a bit.”
-Hanseata
“This is one of the best pound cakes I've ever made and tasted. I followed the recipe to the letter with the exception of baking it in two loaf pans because I find it more convenient.”
-Kayla in Montreal
“I used Cruzan Light and it so reminded us of the BBCs we had on our honeymoon in St. Thomas!”
-Slim PA
"I'm a Baileys lover, so I just had to try this recipe; I made it for a dinner party and copied your idea of serving it in little stem glasses; it looked beautiful topped with a little whipped cream, and it was gone in about 45 seconds!”
-AdriMicina
"This is just so good. After a full day with a nine-month-old teething grandson, this was truly a treat.”
