Ingredients

  • 25 oreos, crushed
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 and 2/3 cups heavy cream Keep in the fridge until ready to use! It must be COLD
  • 1/3 cup + 5 additional tablespoons Irish cream liquor, chilled such as Bailey's
  • 1/3 cup + 1 TBSP powdered sugar
  • 1 TBSP vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make the Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Heat the milk in a small pan over medium heat until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate and let sit 2 minutes, then stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. (You can microwave for 15 sec intervals if some chunks remain). Set aside.
  • Make the Whipped Cream: Add the COLD heavy cream, straight out of the fridge, to a large mixing bowl with the powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1/3 c + 2 TBSP Bailey's. Mix with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form - to check if it's done, turn the mixer off, lift the beaters straight up, and peaks of the whipped cream will remain standing on their own. Stop mixing once it reaches this point.
    Measure out 2 and 1/2 cups of the whipped cream into a separate, medium bowl. Fold the chocolate mixture into this bowl with the portioned out whipped cream. Taste and add a splash more Bailey's if desired - I added 2 TBSP more at this point to the chocolate, and 1 TBSP more to the plain whipped cream.
  • Assemble: Layer oreo crumbs, then the chocolate cream, than the Bailey's whipped cream, and repeat until each glass is full.
  • Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately! Parfaits keep well in the fridge, covered, for 1-2 days. They can be made a day ahead, but I don't recommend making them ahead any farther than that.
