Bailey's Cheesecake

Bailey’s No Bake Cheesecake Trifles

March 1, 2021 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

These Bailey’s No Bake Cheesecake Trifles are a wonderful way to ring in St. Patrick’s Day! With a hint of Bailey’s Irish Cream and a few sprinkles on top, what’s not to love? 

Bailey's No Bake Cheesecake Trifles

Earlier last week I shared a scrumptiously indulgent breakfast using traditional Irish Soda Bread and transformed it into a bread pudding using Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur. St. Patrick’s Day is something I’m leaning a little more into these days. I’ve been finding so much joy and value in learning about my heritage and Irish culture, and my favorite ways to do that are through music and food. 

And speaking of Irish music, I highly recommend giving the song The Rattlin’ Bog a listen. It’s a classic Irish song that’s been around for what seems like forever. Be warned – it’s insanely catchy, so you might get it stuck in your head for days. My kids have been bouncing off of the walls for days chanting it. 😉 

Bailey's No Bake Cheesecake Trifles

Since I had the bottle of Bailey’s on hand from my previous recipe, I decided to give it a whirl in a no-bake cheesecake dessert. No bake cheesecakes are my jam. I especially love serving them in these small little parfait jars that I found on Amazon. They’re a perfect small-sized portion for an indulgent treat such as these! 

Bailey's No Bake Cheesecake Trifles

I start with a layer of crushed ginger snaps. You can use crushed graham crackers, but I really love the bite of ginger paired with the liqueur. The cream cheese mixture is simple – 2 bricks of cream cheese, 1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar and 1/4 cup Bailey’s. Spoon a small amount of gingersnap crumbs into the bottom of the serving glasses. Then pipe the cream cheese filling into the jars and set in the refrigerator for a bit to firm back up. Top with whipped topping and a few sprinkles and you’ve got a sweet St. Patrick’s Day treat! 

Here’s a free printable copy of my recipe if you’d like to give it a try!

Ingredients

Bottom Layer Crust

  • 20-25 ginger snaps crushed

  • Pour melted butter over crumb mixture and stir
  • Spoon crumb mixture into the bottom of serving glasses and press lightly to compact

Cream Cheese Mixture:

  • Top with whipped cream, sprinkles or caramel sauce
  • Enjoy!
