This Baileys and Oreo Tart recipe is a festive Baileys dessert – a holiday favourite in our house. It contains 6 ingredients and is almost no-bake, making it perfect for a potlucks and last minute hosting.
I have wanted to use Oreos in a recipe for the longest time. I LOVE Oreo cookies. I don’t love drinking milk, but hand me a box of Oreos and a tall glass of milk and you won’t see me until I’m stuffed.
This Baileys and Oreo Tart recipe feels festive with the Baileys, but it still generic enough to serve throughout Fall or Winter. It contains 6 ingredients and is almost no-bake. Tons of awesome flavour and hardly any time in the kitchen is always a win in my opinion.
The idea for this recipe came together quickly. I needed a dessert that would be popular at our annual holiday party (read more on that here), but that didn’t require a ton of time in the kitchen or oven for that matter. When a dear friend of mine was crazy about it, I knew I needed to make a blog post about it. And of course try a full piece out for myself 😉
I had previously been working on a cherry tart with an Oreo crust and a thick ganache top, which I took to a friend’s holiday party and was also a hit. I still might use for Christmas Day dessert since I have frozen cherries to spare now.
You can follow along in my Instagram Stories (profile link here) to see what I end up making, but I think it’s the cherry tart since I’ve this Baileys dessert twice in less than 7 days now!
Do you have a holiday dessert you love? I’ve been seeing nothing but fudge this year – like I have a severe case of FOMO (fear of missing out) and everyone else is obsessed with a trend I don’t really understand. Fudge is great, but I find I can only eat a small piece before the sugar load kicks in. That’s the great thing about this tart – the mascarpone really balances out the sweetness and everyone will completely understand why you NEED seconds. What are you making for Christmas dessert this year?
This is my farewell before Christmas hits. I wish you and yours nothing short of the happiest of holidays! Like hardcore Mariah Carey signing non-stop holidays 😉 Hope Santa’s good to each and every one of you.
More festive desserts and one more Baileys dessert:
- Baileys Cheesecake Cookie Cups
- Butterscotch Peanut Butter Marshmallow Squares
- Eggnog Madeleines
- Peppermint Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake
Chocolatey Oreo crust, creamy whipped Baileys' filling and chocolate ganache drizzle for a decadent and show stopping dessert.
- 2 cups crushed Oreos or Oreo crumbs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 475 grams mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3-5 tbsp Baileys liquor
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1-2 tbsp Baileys liquor
-
Preheat oven to 350° F. Melt butter in microwave in short bursts (30 seconds to start, then in 20 second intervals until melted). Mix with crushed Oreos and press firmly into a fluted tart pan (I use a rectangular 4.5" (11.5 cm) x 13" (34 cm) x 1" (3 cm) fluted tart pan).
-
Bake for 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let fully cool in pan. Chill in fridge until cold.
-
Whip mascarpone and sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. Add Baileys and whip until just blended. Fill Oreo crust with filling. Return to fridge and chill.
-
Place chocolate chips and Baileys (or whipping cream) in a small bowl and heat in short bursts until melted (start with 30 seconds and then 20 second intervals until mostly melted. Some small lumps will melt upon stirring). Stir together and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes. Stir again and drizzle over chilled tart. Return to fridge and chill for 20-30 minutes more before serving.
Enjoy! xo

This tart looks divine, Samantha! And so easy to make, too. Have a wonderful holiday!
Thanks so much Colleen! Merry Christmas!
Oh yum! This tart is definitely speaking to me! 🙂 . I’ve been wanting to use Oreo cookies, too, in my baking but haven’t yet. Love the combination with mascarpone and Baileys, here. Looks beautiful and festive. Plus, delicious! P.s. I can’t even look at a piece of fudge, it has never been my kind of sweets.
LOL – love the fudge comment. What’s the deal this year? And yes, the mascarpone balances out the sweetness of the Baileys and Oreo.
Mm, mascarpone cheese, Baileys and oreo. You are speaking my kind of dessert language! Looks delectable! I will have to try this when needing to whip something up in a jiffy.
Yes! It’s perfect for a last minute dessert.
Ha! I totally warned guests that there was booze in the oreo tart so people weren’t offended that I was giving their kids alcohol 🙂 I bought that decoration for my husband – totally National Lampoons Christmas Vacation ornament 😉
This tart has a great balance of kid/adult appeal and it sounds like it’s also sweet and rich in equal measure. I like one sort of fudge at Christmastime, as it’s part of the French Canadian Christmas trifecta in my family (tourtière, pattes de cochon, and sucre à la crème). We cut it into tiny pieces and no one has more than one or two at a time, though.
Your family tradition sounds delicious! The tart isn’t overly sweet which is why I like it – the mascarpone really cuts through it and I don’t add a ton of sugar to it. Merry Christmas Teresa!
Thanks so much!
