Baileys Chocolate Chip Dip is a sweet and creamy dip, packed with Baileys Irish Cream! This is a perfect dip recipe for any occasion and delicious with cookies, fruit, or eating by the spoonful!
I’m sure if you look back at my archives to a year ago today, you’d find the same exact story. But really. This has been a LONG winter.
It started back in December, when the first round of sickness made its way through our family. Then we had about a month of freedom, and now we’re on round two. Greta is finally heading back to school today after being home sick the past four…yes, FOUR…days! Needless to say, I’ve had a hard time getting much done.
It’s at this point every year that we start to wonder if it will ever be warm again. And if we will ever all be healthy again! And it’s at this point every year that we decide it might be time to pull out the Baileys.
So if you need me, I’ll be snuggled up on the couch, waiting for spring, and eating this Baileys Chocolate Chip Dip by the spoonful. It’s rich, creamy, and oh-so-delicious….and best of all, this easy dip reccipe kind of makes you forget just what a long winter this has been.
what you’ll need for this recipe
Cream cheese – Cream cheese is the base of this recipe and what gives it such a delicious, creamy texture. I used one 8 ounce package of plain cream cheese, softened to room temperature.
Powdered sugar – I used 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to sweeten the cream cheese. I typically prefer powdered sugar to granulated sugar in dips because there’s no graininess.
Baileys Irish Cream – 1/4 cup of Irish Cream gives this dip the most delicious [boozy] flavor. I used Baileys Irish Cream, but you can use any brand you prefer OR my Homemade Irish Cream recipe.
Mini chocolate chips – For the chocolate, I used mini chocolate chips for easy dipping. Feel free to substitute regular sized chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
how to make Baileys Chocolate Chip Dip
Combine the main ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Baileys. Mix on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the chocolate chips. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Enjoy! Serve with cookies, crackers, or fruit. Enjoy!

Where do I buy this baileys irish cream at? This dip sounds as if would just melt in your mouth. I don’ t cook much anymore, because of health and age. I still enjoy all the reading all the bogs.

Lucky me! I just happened to have an open bottle of Bailey’s on my kitchen counter right this very minute! Can’t wait to try this, Cathy!
Jen says
Question? Can I replace the baileys, to the baileys flavoured coffee cream?
Cathy Trochelman says
Hi Jen, Yes! That would definitely work!
Kate says
Can it be served cold?
Samantha says
This is probably a stupid question, I’m a newbie when it comes to this stuff. I’m making this for a Christmas party, and don’t want to screw it up lol. 🙂
When you measure out the powdered sugar, do you need to sift it before or after, or not at all? Or does it even matter.
Thanks for answering my silly question lol. 🙂
Marcia Hendrie says
No question is silly when it comes to trying something new, this is how we learn. I have been at it many many years and still learn something new or need help.
Myndy says
Wanna try this using Kahlua
Jenn says
Did you try it with Kahlua? I was thinking about that too and wondered what you thought.
Liz says
How many’s days is it still good for?
Gina B says
Any tips when using a kitchen aid for this recipe? Whenever I use my stand mixer for cream cheese recipes, they tend to come out lumpy.
Julia says
What kinds of fruit would go well with this dip?
Timothy says
Great recipe, Cathy. I will share it St. Patrick’s Day with co-workers and family. Nice great after feasting on the corner beef and cabbage.
Thank you for sharing.
Cathy Trochelman says
Thanks, Timothy! Hope you all enjoy it!
