    Ingredients

    • 2 (6 ounce) cartons Yoplait French Vanilla Yogurt
    • 1 (1 ounce) packet sugar-free white chocolate pudding
    • 1/2 cup (or a 100 ml bottle) Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur (if making this family style, just use 1/4 cup of milk instead)
    • 8 ounces extra-creamy whipped topping
    • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
    • 1 1/2 cups Lucky Charms

    Directions

    1. 1In a stand mixer, beat together the yogurt, pudding mix, and Irish Cream until whippy.
    2. 2Add approximately 6 ounces of the whipped topping (you just need to save about 1 cup of the whipped topping to finish off the tops of your dirt cakes) and beat until the mixture is smooth.
    3. 3In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, until melted.
    4. 4With your electric mixer turned on, slowly pour the melted chocolate chips into your creamy mixture until well-beaten. Tint with green food coloring, if desired.
    5. 5Spoon several tablespoons of the mixture into mini trifle cups, top with Lucky Charms, more of the Irish Cream mixture, a thin layer of whipped topping, then sprinkle with Lucky Charms to finish it all off.
    6. 6Serve immediately for best results! Enjoy!

    Hi @Anonymous! Since the recipe makes just 4 small servings, I would definitely recommend doubling the recipe for a larger trifle (maybe even tripling it depending on the size of your trifle bowl — but that's up to you).

    Hi Irish friends, We're sorry for any confusion. This recipe is meant to be a twist on the classic American dessert, dirt cake. The version was created especially for the St. Patrick's Day holiday, which many in the U.S. celebrate by making green foods...or even eating Lucky Charms!

    There is a dessert called dirt cake where you use chocolate pudding & crushed Oreos. You add gummy worms & kids love it. For all you sensitive people offended by the fact that the word Irish is used in the title, need a sense of humor. This take on the dessert, substitutes Lucky Charms for the Oreos & vanilla pudding for the chocolate. It's a fun idea for St. Patrick's Day. Get over yourselves!

    I'm wondering if the white chocolate adds much to the overall flavor. Not a "white" chocolate fan and it seems like it would just make it sickeningly sweet, even moreso then it will be without.

    I'm Irish, living in Ireland and there is no such thing as Irish Dirt cake. It looks absolutely disgusting and I certainly wouldn't feed it to my kids. I agree with the last post that we have absolutely nothing resembling this in Ireland.

    Hi! Try substituting the Irish Creme with a non-alcoholic Irish Creme flavored coffee creamer.

    Would like to make this for kids at the babysitters but don't want to use the Irish Creme liquor. Any substitutions for the Irish Creme liquor, of a minty kind, that you can suggest?

    OK this is a cute dessert, but it only supplies 4 servings. There are two recipes: 1) for adults using Irish Creme Liquor, 2) for children using milk. It might be a great recipe for St, Patrick's Day!?
