Welcome to Day 3 of our St. Patrick’s Day Food and Fun Celebration! Today I’ve whipped up a super fun dessert for you…Irish Cream Push Pops! These adorable little treats are all the rage right now, so when I spotted some for sale on Pick Your Plum, I quickly snatched them up. But never fear, I also created an Irish Cream Trifle for you in case you don’t have the push pops or can’t find them to buy.
See…aren’t they the cutest? I’ve shared Trifles many times over the last couple of years, they are one of my favorite desserts to make and serve. They go together quickly, look impressive and the few ingredients go a long way.
I started with a batch of my new favorite brownie…Better Than Brownies…and sprinkled half of the batter with Andes Mint Chips. {Stay tuned to see what I’m making the the other half} Then to add the Irish Cream flavor, I used International Delight Creamer, pouring it over the brownies as well as mixing it into the pudding. The Andes Mint are a perfect addition, giving it a little extra minty flavor.
If you are looking for the Push Pops Containers, you can find them at craft stores made by Wilton or online! But if you don’t happen to find the Push Pop Containers, you can very easily serve this St. Patrick’s Day Dessert in a Trifle Glass.
Irish Cream Trifle
Any clear glass container will work for the Irish Cream Trifle. I have used large, small and even votive glasses to serve in.
Delicious dessert to serve for St. Patrick's Day or anytime. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com

Instructions

- After the brownies {or cake} have cooled, cut into pieces and place in a dish, poke with a fork and pour Irish Creamer over, place in fridge about 10 minutes

Those are both so cute! I love the little push pops, I haven’t seen them sold, but I haven’t really been looking either. Might be having to try to find those now too! They look so fun and I know my 3 year old would love them.

I LOVE trifles!(Actually,I have a HUGE sweet tooth,so more or less I love all desserts – but trifles are one of my biggest favorites!).So,I will prefer making this as a trifle than push pops.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.:-) I have a little question though – are Andes mint chips the same as Andes Chocolate Mints?To be honest,I had to Google since we don’t really get them here.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! The Andes Mint Chips are sold in the baking, near the other chocolate chips. They are small pieces of Andes chocolate mints, so you could buy the regular ones and chop if you want.
Hope that helps!

These look so delicious Liz!!

These are awesome! How long after they are prepared do they need to be served? We have a St. Patrick’s Day potluck at work and these would be perfect, but i wasn’t sure if i should put them together tonight or tomorrow.
Hi Lauren,
I would put them together the day of the party. They can be in the fridge for a few hours, but they may get soggy if made the night before. You can certainly make all the parts, and then quickly assemble the day of.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.
Enjoy!
