Baileys Chocolate Dessert Shooters
You can have a shot and a dessert too with Baileys Chocolate Dessert Shooters. The dessert shooter cup is made of chocolate graham crackers and filled with a Baileys chocolate ganache. This dessert shooters recipe with alcohol is great for serving up at a St. Patrick's Day party or eating at home by yourself!
I blame my latest trip to the liquor store on all of the Baileys Irish Cream recipes coming at you. I also have some Rumchata Dessert shooters coming up at some point on the blog. Since I have the dessert shooters pan, I might as well use it excessively.

Dessert shooter cups
These dessert shooter cups are made with chocolate graham crackers crumbs, heavy cream, and white chocolate chips. Begin by making a ganache with the white chocolate chips and heavy cream.

To remove the dessert shooter cups, hold the outside of one mold with your hand to warm it slightly. At the same time, gently but firmly rotate the insert until the cup and insert loosen. The dessert shooter cup and insert should be removed from the mold.
Carefully fill the insert with warm water. Wait for 10 seconds, then gently twist and remove cup.
Baileys Chocolate Ganache
For the Baileys chocolate ganache, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and stir. Once the ganache is smooth and creamy, stir in the Baileys Irish Cream.
Fill the dessert shooter cups three-quarters full with ganache.

How far in advance can you make dessert shooters? They can easily be made a day before. If you're making these Baileys Chocolate Dessert Shooters, I recommend letting them come back up to room temperature because the ganache will become firm.
How long do dessert shooters last? 4 to 5 days.
