Baileys Zebra is a combination of…well…Baileys and coffee, then drizzled with dark chocolate. What a great “adult” frozen treat!!
Who doesn’t like frozen treats? As a kid I loved popsicles, fudgesicles and creamsicles. Now that I am an adult (well most days ?) and making things at home is so much better….these frozen treats have taken on a whole new level of YUMMY!! This year I picked up some frozen treat molds.
Now that I am a gramma I want to make sure there are always great tasting snacks for the grandchildren to have…keeps them visiting often!! But what about “special” adult treats? Looking in my fridge I realized I had some Baileys in there. We were hosting a BBQ and I thought this would be the perfect time to give these treats a try. What a great way to end a day in the sun!!
Using some instant espresso (you can use freshly made espresso as well) I made some coffee in a measuring cup. You can make the coffee as strong as you like. To the coffee I added the Baileys. My mixture ratio was 1:1. If you want it more creamy you can add some regular coffee cream to the mix. I poured the mixture into the molds and placed them in the freezer.
Once frozen I got ready to drizzle the chocolate. I melted some really good dark chocolate and placed it in a piping bag. I took the treats out of the mold and placed them on a cooling rack. I drizzled the chocolate over the treats, and put the rack with the treats into the freezer just to harden. Once hardened, I took them out, turned them over and drizzled the other side.
I put the rack back in the freezer to harden again. Since now you cannot place them back in the mold…and we were not eating them at this point, I carefully placed them in a container (single layer) on wax paper, sealed with a lid back in the freezer till we were ready to eat.
Honestly it doesn’t get any easier and you certainly can’t buy a Baileys Zebra in the store. I will say when I brought these out at the end of the night they were a hit, all I heard was “OMG Baileys“.
I know I will be experimenting soon with more yummy options. Luckily I bought 2 sets of molds….one for the adults and one for the kids!!
Baileys Zebra…fun…easy…the perfect adult frozen treat!!

Wow these popsicles look so yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
If you try them I hope you like them.
Ok this is the perfect adult friendly treat! LOVE love love it!
Yes it truly is!!
Gloria,
I love the simplicity of this recipe. At once awakening the child in all of us whilst still being a proper adult fare. I am just back from a beach holiday, Needless to say, I had my fair share of cocktails, but your pictures beckon “come hither” 🙂 Kudos!
Well thanks so much for the great comments.
Thanks so much for the great comments.
Such a great idea and they look so delicious! 🙂 Will definitely have to try these this grilling season!
They are a great summer treat.
I often enjoy Baileys in coffee so I know I’d love these frozen versions!
Oh yes you will love it!!
What a perfect boozy way to end a party. I love these!
They really are great!! Thanks….hope you enjoy them if you make them!!
You were brilliant to serve these at your barbecue. What grownup wouldn’t love a cold, sweet Baileys popsicle? Boozy pops are even more fun than boozy drinks!
Yup…they went over very well!! Thanks!
You had me at Baileys..these sound delicious!
Hahaha..well they are a fun adult treat!!
They look so inviting, especially these days when its so hot. Love Baileys n this is a perfect dessert.
They are a fun adult treat for sure!!
Anything with Bailey’s in it is going to catch my attention! These look delicious!!
Thanks so much….they are so easy and tasty!!
How fun are these! I wouldn’t be able to eat just one!
Hahah…well maybe on a really hot day!!
Glorious! What time are we getting together? 😉
HAHAHA…anytime!!
It’s funny: I never really crave Baileys, or think about it when I’m looking for something to drink, but if someone else hands me a glass, I remember how crazy delicious it is! And then it’s gone in two seconds flat. These popsicles look like a great way to use up the half-empty bottle we’ve got kicking around. Love the drizzle on top!
That is exactly why I tried it…we had some in the fridge that had to be used up…so I thought WHY NOT!!
This will be a hit with the ladies, for sure. I’ve passed it along to my wife’s friends, and we shall see if we can beat the kids off with a stick when these come out. On the other hand, we could wait until the kids go to sleep…but how can we contain ourselves?
That’s too funny….either way you will love them. Thanks for stopping by!!
These look like a little piece of summer heaven! You had me a Baileys and chocolate…
Yeah that is a classic combo….or just chocolate!!
Wait! Is this heaven? OMG, these popsicles!!!! I am so going to try this (and hope my kids don’t get into them!). LOL. Love this!!!
HAHAH…well if they do I’m sure they will love them too!!
I’m loving the adult popsicle – we like nice things too! You can’t go wrong with that combination of Bailey’s + chocolate + coffee. Sign me up!
