Baileys Bombshell Recipe

So I log on to Cupcakes Takes the Cake this morning (like I do every morning) and I’m surprised to find my cupcakes staring back at me!

How exciting :D I got blogged on Cupcakes Takes the Cake! Someone mentioned recipes and I was thinking of adding something up here but just haven’t been very organized to do it. But here I am trying :)

Recipe for Baileys Bombshell

What you’ll need: (Makes 12)

Your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe or a box of chocolate cake mix

1/4 cup Baileys or any Irish cream - I used Baileys Creme Caramel (Feel free to add more or less to suit your taste)

100 - 150g White Chocolate

Milk (to help achieve consistency)

1/3 cup Caramel

600ml Thickened Cream

Coca Powder (Optional)

Mix the chocolate cupcake batter following the instructions on the pack. Fill the cupcake cup with about 3/4 batter.

Bake for about 15 to 20 mins until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

When the cupcakes have cooled, carve a hole in the middle. Keep the carved bits in a separate bowl.

Baileys filling

Melt white chocolate and let it cool before adding the Baileys.

Stir thoroughly and add milk to achieve the right consistency. Add a little at a time until the filling achieves a thickened cream texture.

If you find the filling too runny, refrigerate for awhile until it thickens. Scoop the filling into the cupcake holes.

Baileys Cake Ball

Crumble the leftover filling and add to the remaining Baileys filling. Add more Baileys until the mixture becomes sticky.

With your hands, roll out 12 small cake balls. Refrigerate until firm and then roll in cocoa powder.

Caramel Whipped Cream

Beat the thickened cream until it becomes stiff. Add caramel and stir through.

Place cream in a plastic bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the cream onto the cupcakes and top it off with a Baileys cake ball.
