For those who enjoy a more decadent treat, the Baileys Irish Cream Cookies and Cream Lush is a must-try. This variation incorporates Baileys Irish Cream into the pudding layer, adding a subtle boozy flavor and a touch of sophistication. The combination of creamy pudding, crunchy cookies, and whipped topping remains the same, creating a dessert that is both indulgent and satisfying.
