This pie is super easy to make. The only real-time is the chilling time. I made it the night before I served it. I made this pie last week on Thursday night so I could bring it for a Friday lunchtime treat, everyone was super pleased.

This no-bake pie is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser, I hope you love it as much as we do!

Ingredients

For the crust, you'll only need two ingredients, Oreos and salted butter. It's simple and absolutely delicious! The perfect crunch against the creamy filling.

For the pilling you will need:

• Dark Chocolate Chips. I like to use Callebaut Dark Chocolate Callets because they are pure chocolate where chocolate chips have fillers in them to help them keep tier "chip shape" when baking. I also like to use dark versus milk because the chocolate is mixed with so much cream.
• Cream Cheese. This will help stabilize all that whipped cream and Baileys. You really need the cream cheese to be completely softened to room temperature though. Trust me don't risk it being cold!
• Heavy Whipping Cream. Make sure to use the "heavy" kind to get the best whipping action!
• Baileys Irish Cream. The star of the show, the alcohol is not cooked out in this recipe so be ready for a nice boozy punch when you take a bite!
• Good Quality Chocolate Bar. I like to use a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk but use your favorite!

Instructions

In a food processor blend Oreo cookies until crushed to a fine crumb. Pour into a bowl and mix in the melted butter until everything is combined and you have a wet sand texture.

Press into a 9-inch pie dish. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

Make a make-shift double boiler by placing a heat-proof bowl on top of a saucepan filled with a small amount of water. You want the bowl to fit snuggly on top and not touch the water at the bottom of the saucepan. This is creating a steam area that will melt the chocolate slowly to prevent scorching it. 

Place the chocolate inside the bowl and place the saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir frequently as the chocolate melts, watch it carefully as the chocolate can go from melted to burned in a few seconds. Set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the filling.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer beat the cream cheese for 2 minutes, you will make a smooth, lump-free creamy mixture. Scoop the cream cheese into a clean bowl.

In the same/ dirty mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment whip the heavy cream and half of the Baileys until stiff peaks form.

Once the whipped cream is formed fold in half of cream cheese.

Then fold in the remaining cream cheese, chocolate, and the remaining ½ cup of Bailey's.

Pour into the prepared pie dish, use an angled spatula to smooth out the top into an even layer.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Using a Microplane zester take a chocolate bar and grate on top of the pie.

Store in the fridge, best if enjoyed within 4 days.

The crunchy Oreo crust against the smooth creamy Baileys filling is honestly spectacular.
