Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie is an adult dessert made with an Oreo cookie crust that is filled with a chocolate cheesecake flavored with Baileys Irish Cream.
Ingredients
▢24 Oreo cookies, crushed▢¼ cup (½ stick / 57g) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
▢16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature▢1⅓ cup (167 g) confectioners' sugar▢3 tablespoons Baileys Irish cream, up to ¼ cup▢¾ cup (127 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted▢2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder▢1 pinch kosher salt▢2 cups (8 ounces) whipped topping, plus more for garnish* (see notes)
Instructions
Add Oreo cookies to a food processor and crush until you have a fine crumb and very few larger pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour into a prepared 9-inch pie pan and firmly press to the edges and up the sides to form a pie crust.
Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
Add in the confectioners' sugar, Baileys Irish Cream, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and salt. Beat until everything is combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping. Pour filling mixture into prepared pie crust, spreading it out to form an even layer.
Refrigerate for 2-6 hours, or until filling is firm and cold. Top with additional whipped topping before cutting and serving.
Notes
I piped out very tall whipped cream dollops with an 8B tip. I used 8 ounces of whipped cream to do this – or the equivalent of one carton of Cool Whip. You can use much less and simply smooth it out.
