Ingredients

  • 2 cartons (6 oz each) Yoplait® Original Yogurt French Vanilla
  • 1 packet (1 oz) 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

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In a stand mixer, beat together the yogurt, pudding mix, and Irish Cream until whippy.

  • Step 
    3
    In a small bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts, until melted.
  • Step 
    4
    With 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.
  • Step 
    5
    Spoon 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. Serve immediately for best results! Enjoy!
