Bailey's Cookies & Cream Parfaits

You may have seen this recipe floating around Facebook.  When it came across the screen on my phone I just had to try it!  And yes, it is as good as it looks & sounds. Recipe says it makes 3 parfaits ... I made 6 small in tiny juice glasses.

INGREDIENTS
15 oreo cookies, crushed
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (I used 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup Bailey's, chilled
1/4 cup powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS
1.  Place the chocolate in a bowl. Steam milk in the microwave for about a minute on high and then pour over the chocolate.  Stir until chocolate is dissolved and then let sit until room temperature.  

2.  Using a stand mixer, add heavy cream, Bailey's and powered sugar to bowl.  Beat on high 5-7 or until stiff peaks begin to form.

3.  Divide cream mixture in half.  The first half of the whipped cream will be left alone and is ready to use in the parfait.  The second half will be mixed with the chocolate.  When ready, slowly add the chocolate mixture over this half of the whipped cream, gently (yet thoroughly) folding them together until completely mixed.

4.  To assemble the parfaits;  Using a pastry bag (or just a spoon), add layers of the cream and crushed cookies.  I layered chocolate, then cream, then cookies and repeated finally topping with a few extra cookie crumbs.

5.  Parfaits can be served immediately or If you would like the chocolate layer to be firmer, chill parfaits for 2-3 hours before serving.
