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!!

Recipe ingredients and the frozen treats in the mold.

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!!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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?
