Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 24 pieces Oreo Cookies A sweet and chocolatey base; chocolate graham crackers work well as an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Binds the crust together with richness; ensure it's melted for easy mixing.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces 60% Cocoa Chocolate Bars The star of the filling for deep chocolate goodness; semi-sweet chocolate can be used for a sweeter taste.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds creaminess and a light texture; try coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream Infuses the filling with rich flavor; swap for another cream liqueur or omit for a non-alcoholic pie.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the pie's overall flavor; opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Espresso Powder Enhances the chocolate depth; instant coffee granules can work as a substitute.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Balances out the sweetness and intensifies the flavors.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (for filling) Ensures a smooth texture; room temperature makes for easy incorporation.
For the Topping
  • 1 tablespoon Confectioners' Sugar Sweetens the whipped cream; granulated sugar can be used, though it won't dissolve as easily.
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate Shavings Optional garnish for a touch of elegance and extra chocolate flavor.

Equipment

  • 9-inch Springform Pan
  • Food Processor
  • medium saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • Electric Mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie
  1. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray for easy removal. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, then transfer to a bowl. Mix in the melted butter until fully combined. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan for an even layer. Freeze the crust for 30 minutes to set before adding the filling.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and Baileys over medium heat until the mixture is simmering, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped 60% cocoa chocolate bars in a large bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth and shiny. Incorporate the room temperature unsalted butter, stirring until melted and the mixture is velvety.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream and confectioners' sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until medium-soft peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Make sure not to over-whip.
  4. Carefully pour the smooth chocolate filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure it fully sets and develops that luxurious, creamy texture.
  5. Once the pie is set, remove it from the refrigerator. Dollop the freshly whipped cream on top, gently swirling it to cover the filling while leaving the edges visible. For an elegant touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top before slicing.
