Cheers! 11 Boozy Desserts You Need To Make

From Baileys Cheesecake Brownies to Chocolate Bourbon Bread Pudding, these boozy desserts are guaranteed to be the life of the party. They won't make anyone tipsy, but they sure are fun.

1. Baileys Cheesecake-Marbled Brownies (Baileys Irish Cream)

Spiked with Baileys Irish Cream, these brownies with a swirl of tangy cheesecake are cakey on the bottom, alternately fudgy and creamy in the center and crisp on top. They may look elaborate but they're easy to make. GET THE RECIPE

2. Tres Leches Cake with Dulce de Leche Glaze (Dark Rum)

Popular in Latin America, Tres Leches Cake is a light and fluffy cake soaked with a mixture of three milks. In this version, rum is added to the soaking liquid and a simple rum-spiked dulce de leche glaze covers the cake. My husband calls it "heaven on earth." GET THE RECIPE

3. Coconut Dream Pie (Malibu Rum)

With a coconut-scented cookie crust and creamy coconut custard, all covered in a pillow of whipped cream and heaps of toasted coconut, this pie is truly dream-worthy. GET THE RECIPE

4. Strawberry Frozen Yogurt (Vodka)

This strawberry fro-yo tastes intensely of fresh strawberries -- almost like a cross between strawberry frozen yogurt and strawberry sorbet. The vodka ensures that the yogurt stays creamy and smooth in the freezer. GET THE RECIPE

5. Irish Cream Tiramisu (Baileys Irish Cream)

This fun twist on tiramisu -- from one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Nigella Express by Nigella Lawson -- is a dinner party regular at my house. GET THE RECIPE

Banana Pudding is an old-fashioned Southern dessert traditionally made with layers of Nilla wafers, vanilla pudding and sliced bananas. This version bucks tradition a bit, but still tastes nostalgic and delicious. GET THE RECIPE

Everyone loves this buttery rum cake with chunks of sweet apples nestled within. The best part? It's a cinch to make. GET THE RECIPE
