Irish cream profiteroles: pate a choux puffs filled with a fluffy Bailey's Irish cream mousse and topped with dark chocolate ganache.
I'm so excited to be bringing you this recipe today! I think it's a really fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's day!
Do you remember my last post, about how to make perfect pate a choux? Well, there was a method to my madness there 😉 You're going to need those big, beautiful, eggy puffs for today's recipe.
I showed you how after they were baked, they puffed up and hollowed out inside. Well, today, we will be filling them with the lightest, creamiest, booziest Irish Cream whiskey mousse you've ever tasted!
- white chocolate melted together with Irish cream liqueur
- egg whites whipped with sugar
- whipped cream
It doesn't get much simpler than that! Just spoon a little of that fluffy mousse filling into the hollows of your choux puffs.
These are so heavenly, just dusted with a little powdered sugar for garnish! But since I love you guys so much, I decided to go all out for ya.
Warm chocolate sauce, baby!

These look mouthwatering! The mousse filling sounds unbelievably delicious!
Have a nice day!
You too, Consuelo, and thank you! Bailey's ANYTHING is pretty fabulous, but it worked especially well in these cream puffs 😉
I don't think these profiteroles could look any more perfect. I love everything about these and your pictures are more than stunning. What a fabulous idea!!
Wow, thank you so much, Kathi! Isn't Bailey's just so irresistible? I ADORE it, all year 'round, but especially around St. Patrick's Day! And it worked so well in this fluffy filling! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback <3
I love the Irish twist you've given your profiteroles, and they look amazing!
Thanks Marcie! They were so good, and I had so much fun making them! I'm so happy you enjoyed the post. Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know! 😀
These profiteroles look amazing! I just made a batch of eclairs yesterday, and now all I want to do is go back and make these profiteroles. Irish Cream Mousse sounds quite tasty!
Oh, it totally is, David! The Bailey's works so well in this mousse. Would be so good in an éclair too, if you have any empty shells left over 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by and for the great comment! So happy to meet another choux-lover, lol!
I am totally drooling over these amazing cream puffs Allie - they look insanely good! The boozy filling and warm chocolate sauce sound incredible and I love the action shot. Wish I was the one pouring so I could have a sample - yum and pinning 🙂
Thanks so much Kelly! I'm so happy I made you drool, lol! And thanks for the pin too 😉
Hi Allie, if there is only one thing I will always crave that would be Choux (filled with nearly.. anything). Thank you for the recipe. However, since we are not allowed to drink (forbidden in our religion) I guess I will omit the Bailey.
Yet, to my surprise only couple of days back I discovered non-alcoholic Bailey in an elite food shop 🙂 how about that!!! what do you think, shall I go for it?
Oh, ya, definitely go for it, Hala! Bailey's is so creamy and yummy, it's perfect in a cream puff. That said, these would still be pretty fabulous without it 😉
Love the action shot, Allie! And I agree with another commenter that it would be hard to come up with something more delicious than a cream puff with Bailey's in it! These still somehow look pretty light, though. Well, that's what I would tell myself before stuffing myself with lots of them, anyhow!
They are deceptively light, lol! So fluffy and airy, but creamy as can be 😉 Thanks so much for the sweet comment, Helen!
