Method
 

Build No-Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie Step by Step
  1. Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust - Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse until they are finely crushed, resembling sand. Then, pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to pack it tightly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Filling - In a heatproof bowl, combine the finely chopped chocolate and espresso powder. Heat 1 and 3/4 cups of heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes. After that, whisk until smooth and fully melted. Stir in the Baileys Irish cream and vanilla extract, along with the fine sea salt.
  3. Step 3: Whip the Cream - In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want a light and airy texture.
  4. Step 4: Combine the Mixtures - Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Use a rubber spatula to combine until no streaks remain. This will create a light and fluffy filling that’s full of flavor.
  5. Step 5: Fill the Pie Crust - Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow it to set.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Garnish - Once the pie has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Optionally, top with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance. Slice, serve, and watch your guests delight in this no-bake chocolate treat!

Notes

  • Use gluten-free Oreo cookies for a gluten-free version.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
