Ingredients for Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie
Oreo Cookies: Crush 24 Oreo cookies, including the filling, to make the crust. A food processor works best to achieve fine crumbs.
Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before use. This guarantees a smooth and creamy cheesecake texture.
Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur: An alcoholic beverage made with cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey. It’s delightful on its own, over ice, in coffee, or in this dessert.
Whipped Topping: Whipped topping like Cool Whip adds a light and fluffy consistency to the cheesecake. Gently fold it in during the last step. If you prefer homemade, you can make your own whipped topping. It’s also used to garnish the pie.
How to Store
Store this Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
Can I Freeze No-Bake Cheesecakes?
Yes! You can freeze this cheesecake just like a baked one. Without any toppings, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. Label and date it, and freeze for up to 6 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, remove the aluminum foil (leave the plastic wrap on) and let it thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Beat the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Fold in Whipped Topping:
Gently fold in 2 cups whipped topping (8 ounces / 230 g) to the chocolate mixture until well incorporated.
Assemble the Pie:
Spoon the filling into the prepared Oreo crust.
Spread it evenly to create a smooth top layer.
