Good morning my friends! It’s Monday and I hope you’re fresh off a fun and relaxing weekend, and getting a great start to the new week. Here in my ‘hood it’s the last week of school, so the kiddos are really excited to get going on their summer break. And, to be honest, mom is pretty excited too, to have the afternoons off from sorting through papers and nagging about homework.
Today’s recipe is a truly decadent one, with amazing rich, deep flavors of coffee and chocolate, contrasted by tart, seasonal raspberries. I could not stop digging my spoon down into this creamy no-bake treat!
I think you are going to love this recipe because it’s maximum impact with minimal effort. Honestly, I spent more time fussing over the pretty layers than I did actually making the dessert itself! The no-bake cheesecake mousse comes together in about 5 minutes flat, and the raspberry and chocolate cookie crumb layers are literally as simple as putting one ingredient in the food processor and turning it on.
You get the “Mudslide” by using a little bit of BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer in the mousse. It brings such a great sweet, creamy flavor. I really like BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers because they are made with real cream. It’s such a great way to bump up the flavor in your recipes, without adding a bunch of questionable non-dairy weirdness. There’s so much you can do with them- if you need some inspiration, check out their awesome recipe page!
The coffee and chocolate flavor is so deep and intense, but the raspberry brightens things right up in such a lovely way! I think this is just the perfect make-ahead treat for warm summer nights.

Instructions
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl, and whip on medium speed until creamy and well-combined.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk the BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer together with the cocoa and espresso powder. Add the mixture to the bowl, scraping the sides down with a silicone spatula, and continue to mix on medium speed.
- In a thin, slow stream, pour in the cold cream. When all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to medium high speed and whip until fluffy and stiff.

Hi Allie! That’s great that you’re about to get a little break from school things! You guys stop school so much earlier than we do – it’s end of July over here!
This is my FAVOURITE kind of dessert. They always look so pretty in the little jars. I adore the flavours you’ve combined here – and you’re right, the Baileys just makes them super luxurious little treats, even though they take moments to make. Perfect!
Thank you Helen! Yep, we have a long summer break here. Nearly three months total! It’s nice for the kiddos. Hope your summer is off to a good start! 🙂
Say no more, you had me at Baileys and no bake too. Can’t wait to try them.
Isn’t Bailey’s the best?? So good with coffee… Thanks so much Janette!
Oh my gosh this is all of my favourite flavours put together- raspberry, mocha, cheesecake- so delicious! I cannot wait to try this!
Hooray! I’m so glad you like it Mel! I loved those flavors together too- somehow it just works. Thanks so much 😀
Allie, these look amazing! I love everything about them – the flavor combo is an all-time favorite (coffee and chocolate are meant to be together!), and the addition of the cookie layer is brilliant. They must add the perfect little crunch to this amazing parfait!
Oh yeah- they totally did! And then the ones that sat a little longer got softer and it was really good that way too! I couldn’t agree with you more about coffee and chocolate. So happy you like this recipe! Thanks Aida!
These look so fantastic Allie! Seriously fantastic. I want to dive right into them!!!
Aw, thank you so much boo!
I love the Baileys/espresso/raspberry combo here! So fun 🙂
Thanks Medha! I really loved it too!
Allie! It’s breakfast time and you’re teasing me with an irresistible dessert?! I want to break all breakfast rules and have 6 of these right now! I mean, with the Baileys and all, I guess we can pass it off as breakfast, right? 🙂 Great recipe!
Oh sure! I mean it has coffee creamer in it, and you drink coffee in the morning. So = breakfast! Go for it girl! 😉
