Easy Chocolate Baileys Ice cream
Most recipes call for an ice cream machine or hand churning the ice cream, but I found this totally genius Chocolate Baileys Ice Cream recipe by David Lebovitz. It involves no machine or hard labour. Just add the ingredients together, blend them, and freeze them.
Most recipes call for an ice cream machine or hand churning the ice cream, but I found this totally genius Chocolate Baileys Ice Cream recipe by David Lebovitz. It involves no machine or hard labour. Just add the ingredients together, blend them, and freeze them. This ice cream needs something added to minimise ice-crystals forming. And that special something happens to be Baileys Irish Cream liqueur and rum. With this naughty adult edge, there’s also a rich chocolate flavour thanks to the real melted chocolate inside and a creamy texture from whole ripe bananas. Definitely not an ice cream for the kids!

This sounds like absolute genius! I will be whipping up a batch tonight! I made a Cheesecake Ice-cream that was a mix and freeze job too and it was delicious so I can’t wait to add this to my repertoire. Thanks!
No ice-cream machine plus Baileys, I’m in! It sounds like a perfect recipe, I can’t wait to give it a try. Yum!
Cheesecake ice cream?? That sounds like a dream come true! I’ll have to hunt down that recipe :)
Oooh, I’ve been making faux ice cream by blending frozen banana and cocoa powder (because I don’t have an icec ream machine), and didn’t know I could make something like this instead! Bring on the summer heat ;)
Wow!! It packs quite a punch! I love it, O made it in less than 30 seconds and a taste prior to freezing nearly knocked my socks off. It was so creamy, chocolatey and boozy, YUM! As you say “not one for the kids”
Nice! I’m hinting to my boy for an ice-cream machine for xmas. I’m not subtle too mind you, posted the link on his facebook :P
That sounds like a delicious combo and great that it doesn’t need a machine! So many people don’t have one! :)
ah ha ha, I like your style :)
30 seconds? Even better! It’s such a shame that the glorious warm weather that inspired this just days ago has left again. But I’m determined to still get my ice-cream fix, even while wearing a thick jacket to keep warm tonight.
Mmmm…..this ice cream looks delicious! Especially in this weather we’re having now!!
Chocolate, baileys and bananas – can’t go wrong! I’m loving the fact that it’s no churn too. =)
Such awesomeness! No churn, plus alcohol, how could you go wrong with that eh ? :P I don’t have an ice-cream maker but I’m asking for The Perfect Scoop for Christmas anyway because I’ve made a few ice-creams for DL’s blog and they’ve been fantastic.So happy it’s become sunny up her in Sydney as well.
Ooooh this looks delicious!!! I love that you don’t need an ice cream machine. I will have to send this to my mum as she doesn’t have one yet.
No machine…chocolate…Baileys and also a touch of Rum…how could I resist not making this treat ;o)
Thanks Emma for sharing this one…it’s bookmarked for sure!!!
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
ohhh yum i love baileys! mmm no ice cream machine recipes are awesome
Congrats on finishing your Masters! A fantastic achievement. Your icecream makes me want to do the gross act of licking the screen, so I shall be forced instead to make my own …
Ice cream with Baileys is genius, two of my favourite things in one dessert :D
The ice cream looks so creamy and delicious. And no machine, yay!
Sounds absolutely wonderful. Just the thing for these hot Sunshine Coast summer afternoons!
Get out of here!!! This sounds unreal. I’m off to the kitchen……..
yum!! will definitely make this! it’s a very good time now to make ice cream..it’s crazee hot in Sydney!
Hiiiii! I’m drooling here. I want this ice cream so badlyyyy! yummi yummi.
I wanna ask you.. To make this dessert alcohol free I just replace it with more milk? :)

Hi Patricia,
It’s pretty yummy indeed! The alcohol in the recipe helps keep the icecream texture smooth and ice-crystal free. It will still taste fine to swap the Baileys with milk, but it’s likely to be quite icey, almost granita-like when ready. Happy baking!
