Baileys® Irish Creme Parfaits (makes 4)

    • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
    • 1/3 cup chilled Baileys® Irish Creme

-Heat the milk in a large bowl (at least 2-cup capacity, a glass measuring cup is

perfect) for 2 minutes on HIGH in your microwave.

-Crush the Oreos in a food processor or in a plastic zipper bag using a rolling pin.

-In the bowl of your mixer, whip the cream for 4 minutes (if possible, place the

bowl in to your fridge ahead of time to chill).

whipped cream.

-Remove half of the whipped cream/Baileys® mixture to a separate bowl.

-With the mixer on the lowest speed, slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the

remaining whipped cream.
