Can I make Baileys Affogato with a different Irish Cream Liqueur?
FOR SURE!!!!!
Baileys is just the most commonly known, but this will work with the lesser know brands just as well. In fact the creamy ice cream can really boosts the slightly cheaper brands by making them thicker and richer tasting.
Just make sure it is chilled completely so it doesn't melt the ice cream too quickly!
What about a different flavor combination for the Baileys Affogato?
You can switch up the baileys or the ice cream!
Try original baileys poured over salted caramel ice cream or chocolate ice cream.
Or some of the limited edition baileys flavors will work wonderfully here too. Try vanilla ice cream with the coffee flavored baileys or the chocolate cherry baileys over chocolate ice cream!
Or for the pumpkin spice lovers, why not try that over cinnamon ice cream.
The Baileys Affogato possibilities are endless!

This 'recipe' has a special place in my heart. 1) because it contains Baileys!!!! and 2) because it once won me a years supply of Baileys!!!! Yup, a years supply of Baileys. Although I can tell you that the Baileys' promotional department's idea of a years supply is a little different to my idea of a years supply 😉 Not that I am complaining!! Free Baileys is free Baileys 🙂
Bailey's were running a competition on their Facebook page. You had to comment with your favourite way to enjoy Baileys and who you would enjoy it with. My winning entry was "I enjoy Baileys poured over vanilla ice cream and sprinkled with crumbled up chocolate flakes" Then I tagged Stew. Everyone else was suggesting cakes and frosting ideas and cocktails, but I don't use Baileys that way. I drink it neat over ice or I pour it over ice cream. Neat over ice wasn't going to win any competitions! So I went with the ice cream option and WON!!!!
Bethany Ruane says
I love these bowls! Where are they from?
Claire McEwen says
Hi Bethany,
I actually bought them at a thrift store, they don't have any branding or name on them.
Sorry I couldn't be more help 🙁

I love Baileys, and this looks like such a simple and delicious way to enjoy it! Such a yummy after dinner dessert treat 🙂
Claire McEwen says
It is so simple.....makes it easy to whip one up... which is a blessing and a curse...may have run out of Baileys...time to buy more for Christmas 😉
Dini @ The Flavor Bender says
I am going to have this soon!! I usually pour Kahlua ontop of my ice cream, but maybe I might add some Baileys too!! YUM!
And you're right... a Bottle of Baileys a month, isn't really enough for me too, but I will GLADLY accept Free Baileys!
Claire McEwen says
Hehe, Glad I am not the only one who thinks it isn't enough 🙂
Kahlua over ice cream is another of my favs! I am loving the idea of them both together. Great thinking!!! x
The Hungry Mum says
This is all the lush. It is stinking hot today and I would LOVE one right now.
Claire McEwen says
It has been so hot hasn't it!!!! And only the first day of summer.....Can't imagine what January is going to be like.
But hey, it is the perfect excuse for ice cream (oh and Baileys) 😉

KC the Kitchen Chopper says
This caught my eye because at our Thanksgiving dinner there was a whole discussion about Baileys. This sounds so tasty, plus it's a no bake dessert! 🙂
Claire McEwen says
Your Thanksgiving table sounds the place to be. Great food and Baileys....Lay me a place for next year 😉
Kathi @ laughing spatula says
Great story! That was no years supply around here either but what a treat! Booze in the mail is a beautiful thing! Love this easy dessert too!
Claire McEwen says
Hehe, glad I am not alone in my thinking. Still free Baileys is never to be sniffed at!
Thank you

Sarah says
This sound delicious...definitely worthy of winning a competition!!

I certainly wasn't complaining 🙂
Shihoko says
Wow lucky you Claire to win Bailey's for a year! no wonder you won though, it is great idea to drink or use it over Ice cream! I would not and can not drink straight any alcohols but if they are used in sweets I can:D. It would be great on iced coffee too?!
Claire McEwen says
It would be wonderful in iced coffee 🙂
Although I tend to grab an iced coffee mid afternoon, just before I do the school run...... I best try that one on a Saturday arvo 😉
