Bailey's Cheesecake Mousse

 

I started out trying to create a single serving no-bake cheesecake for St. Patrick's Day.

My experimenting lead to this cheesecake-tasting-yet-more-like-a-mousse dessert.

I was pretty happy with the taste and I am love with the smooth and creamy texture.

 If you enjoy Bailey's Irish Cream then I just know you will enjoy this mousse.

I still count this as a single serving recipe but, technically, there is enough here to serve 2 people, especially if you are serving it as a dessert.

I had it for my dinner so I ate it all.

What?

I'm an adult.

I'm allowed to eat dessert for dinner if I want to.

 

 

Bailey's Cheesecake Mousse

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp oreo cookie baking crumbs

4 Tbsp cream cheese, softened (0 fat)

1 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt (0 fat)

2 Tbsp icing sugar

splash vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp Bailey's Irish Cream

3 Tbsp Cool Whip (0 fat)

 

Directions

Press oreo crumbs into the bottom of a serving dish/bowl. Set aside.

 

 

In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, icing sugar, vanilla, and Bailey's until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip.  

Spoon gently over crumbs.

 

 

Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Sprinkle with a few more oreo crumbs and a few Skor bits (if desired).

 

 

Pretty, right?

I was fairly happy with the nutritional info too (using Myfitnesspal):

Calories - 338

Carbs - 43

Fat - 7

Protein - 10.

Not something you want to indulge in on a daily basis or anything...but still not THAT bad. I used non-fat yogurt, cool whip, and cream cheese but believe me, this does NOT taste "light".

Not bad for my first St. Patrick's day experimental recipe, if I do say so myself.
