A decadent dessert to make for company when you haven't got a lot of time. These really need to 'set' for at least 4-5 hours before serving (so they're an ideal make-ahead), and life can be made even simpler by using a good-quality, purchased pound cake.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Custard

1 cup baileys' irish cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate, grated

Assembly

4-5 slices of thick poundcake, cut into cubes
3/4 cup chocolate curls (approximately)

Directions

1
In a medium bowl, beat all custard ingredients, except for chocolate, until thick and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
2
Fold in the grated chocolate.
3
To assemble parfaits: In a tall parfait or sundae glass, pour a tablespoonful or so of the custard.
4
Top with a few cubes of pound cake.
5
Repeat this procedure, layering custard and pound cake, until you have as many layers as the glass can hold, ending with a custard layer.
6
Cover tops with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours to 'set'.
7
Top with chocolate curls.

This is sooo good - I have a hard time keeping my spoon out of the custard and waiting until company arrives! Thank you!

This custard is wonderful and I used my homemade Bailey's Irish Cream Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur (Gift-Giving or for Yourself!) for the booze, however, I recommend that the softened cream cheese be whipped with an electic beater until creamy prior to adding all the other custard ingredients in order to eliminate the cottage cheese look and lumpiness of the custard. I also was not wild about the pound cake being used in the parfaits but I would try them again with broken chocolate chip cookies. I think that would be tastier than the pound cake (too bland) because the custard does not soak into it. Or possibly dribble with espresso or liquer. For garnish, I think Andes mints (which I used), Hershey's kisses or Hug and Kisses would work great for color. Thanks evelyn for the basis of the custard and something to expand on this recipe with.

These were very good, definitely a good dessert for company. I followed the advice about whipping the cream cheese first and it worked out great. I had some of the custard leftover and put it in the freezer. I would say this makes more than 4 servings.
