Based on the Nutty Irishman Cocktail this no-bake pie is filled with Bailey's Irish Cream, Frangelico and of course we needed chocolate! This no-bake pie is perfect for your next event!
This recipe was originally posted on March 14, 2014, I have always loved Pi Day and nothing has changed.
I felt like the recipe needed some updating and some step-by-step photos. So I forced myself to enjoy some Irish Cream and Hazelnut Liqueur.
Another boozy dessert recipe I adore is my Crack Cake soaked in wine!
What is a Nutty Irishman?
My friend Danny, okay just kidding, it's a cocktail made of Baileys Irish Cream and Frangelico, it happens to be one of my favorites.
You can of course use generic brands of Irish Cream and Hazelnut Liqueur.
I serve it over ice or in coffee with lots of whipped cream. For this pie I added some chocolate because chocolate makes everyhing better.
How do you make a no bake Oreo crust?
In a large bowl add finely crushed Oreos and melted butter, mix until all crumbs are moistened.
Press Oreo mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and use a measuring cup to tightly press the crust. Place dish in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
How do you make Nutty Irishman Pie?
Firs things first make sure your cream cheese is very soft, softened to room temperature- if the cream cheese is too cold then it will not blend into the whipped cream mixture.
In a Bain Marie or in the microwave melt the chocolate just until chocolate is all melted- it can burn easily- set aside to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer or large bowl fitted with a paddle attachment beat the cream cheese for 2- 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scoop cream cheese out into a clean bowl then add whipping cream and 4oz (½ Cup) of the Baileys to dirty bowl add whisk attachment and whisk until you have medium- stiff peaks.
Once your whipped cream mixture is ready gently fold in the cream cheese, melted chocolate, remaining Irish cream, and Hazelnut Liqueur.
Once the mixture is combined gently add it to the prepared crust. I use a vegetable peeler to create chocolate shavings to sprinkle on top of the pie.
Gently cover the pie in plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.
Can you make Nutty Irishman Pie ahead of time?
Totally, since this pie needs such a long time to set it's best made the day before you want to serve it. You could make it up to 2 days in advance.
How long does Nutty Irishman Pie last?
This pie is best enjoyed within the first 2-3 days. You can definitely eat the pie after the first few days but it won't be at its best.

Lisa Rule says
I love your recipes and this looks wonderful! My only question is (unless I am reading this wrong which is entirely possible because I am sooooo tired today! Lol) the Bailey's ingredients list 1/3 cup Bailey's but recipe seems to call for 3/4 cup total ( which sounds even yummier!) which is the correct amount? I want to make for our belated St. Patrick's celebration next weekend but want it to turn out right . Thank you do much!!!!
Elizabeth says
Thank you Lisa for letting me know, that is a typo yes use 3/4 cup of Baileys Irish Cream! More the better 😉 LOL Just make sure you chill the pie for at least 4 hours or make your life easier and do it the night before that is what I do!! LMK if I can help with anything else 🙂
Alyssa says
This pie looks great, my mouth is watering just looking at it!
ang says
Elizabeth, anything that has that list of ingredients HAS to be delicious - it looks incredible and I bet tastes amazing!
I pinned it to my PIE board 🙂 Happy Belated PiDay.

WHY have I never had a Nutty Irishman drink before!? MUST HAVE. When I come live with you and work at your pub I am demanding this drink for every shift, kay?
Jocelyn@BruCrew Life says
This pie is insanity! The best kind of insanity 😉 Drooling!!
Jane in Annapolis says
Really stupid question ... since nothing is said about the Oreo filling, I'm assuming that you just crush the complete cookies, filling and all is that correct? As a substitute, could I use the Famous Chocolate Wafer cookies that I used to make whipped creme ice box layer cake? I'm really looking forward to making this for our St Pat's celebration on Saturday. Sounds yummy. Thanks!
Elizabeth Waterson says
Not stupid at all! I do leave the whole cookie- filling and all-it help keep it moistened and sweet. So I have personally actually never used those wafer cookies- so I am not 100% sure. I would say yes but you might need more butter to hold them together though. Please let me know if you have any further questions and how you like the recipe! If you are on Facebook or Instagram I would love if you would tag me so I can see your pie! Happy Paddy's!! XX Liz
Jane in Annapolis says
This is the best pie I have ever eaten!! It was the perfect ending for our late St. Patrick's Day dinner with friends and I'm not sure which of us loved it more. My one faux pas was that I melted the chocolate for the filling before I crushed the Oreos, so it had started to reharden by the time I was ready for it. Since I didn't want to reheat the chocolate and risk ruining the cream mixture, I just chopped up the hard bits. The result was that my pie filling had little pieces of chocolate in it -- something I found perfectly acceptable. Next time I will try to get the timing better. My only suggestion is to use a slightly bigger (9.5") pie pan. I think that I would have had too much crust and filling for my 9" pan. I would have sent a picture, but the empty dish didn't have much appeal. THANKS for a yummy recipe.
