Pudding parfaits are ideal for any special occasion, such as Christmas, St Patrick’s Day or Thanksgiving. They’re delicious, creamy and easy to prepare. In fact, these chocolate mint parfaits boast one secret ingredient that sets them head and shoulders above the competition and makes these the best parfaits to make if you want to wow your dinner guests.

A parfait, if the term is new to you, is a layered dessert and common parfait ingredients include ice cream, fruit, pudding, whipped cream, and yogurt, although of course these easy parfait recipes vary a lot.

And this one has a special ingredient to make it extra-tempting. That secret ingredient is none other than Bailey’s – that Irish Cream liqueur we all know and love. But Bailey’s isn’t just for sipping, you know. It also makes an indulgent ingredient in anything from pudding to cookies, cakes and cheesecakes.

They’re best served in clear glasses so those rich chocolate and mint colored layers can be seen and appreciated.

Why You’ll Love the Recipe:
These cute little minty chocolate parfaits blend the wonderful taste of mint with the perfect flavor of chocolate and then you have whipped cream layered in there as well, making these an indulgent and flavor-packed dessert option.
How to Serve Them:
These are best served chilled straight from the refrigerator or you can serve them as soon as you’ve made them, as you prefer.

Ingredients:
- Crème de Menthe liqueur
- Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur
- Chocolate pudding mix
- Cool Whip
- Whole milk
- Hot fudge topping
- Crushed mint Oreos

How to make Baileys Chocolate Mint Pudding Parfaites:
Whisk the pudding mix with the milk and Bailey’s for 2 minutes, then let it stand for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the Crème de Menthe and Cool Whip in another bowl.

Drizzle the fudge sauce inside 6 parfait glasses.


Transfer the pudding mixture into one piping bag and the Cool Whip mixture into another.

Fit nozzles and then pipe the mixtures, alternating between the two, into the parfait glasses.
Finish off with the Oreo crumbles.

If you’re looking for a no-bake recipe for dessert and you prefer something you can throw together in just 20 minutes, this is a nice recipe to pick. The word “parfait” is French for “perfect” and that is a pretty accurate description of these scrumptious little desserts!

If you don’t have piping bags, you can use Ziploc bags to pipe the mixtures, snipping off the ends first.
