Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1⅓ cup (167g) confectioners’ sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
- ¾ cup (127g) 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
Instructions
- Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies in a food processor until you achieve a fine crumb. Mix the crumbs with melted butter in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Firmly press this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides to form your crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the confectioners’ sugar, Baileys Irish Cream, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is uniform. Pour this filling into your prepared crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Refrigerate the pie for 2-6 hours, ensuring the filling sets and becomes firm.
Tips for Perfection
- For an extra crispy crust, you can bake the Oreo base at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
- If you prefer a stronger Baileys flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of Irish Cream up to ¼ cup, tasting as you go.
- Decorate your pie with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or even fresh berries for added elegance and flavor.
