This No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie is the perfect easy dessert . . . . with booze! This pie seriously comes together in about 5 minutes and is so tasty! The recipe does not skimp on the Baileys, so you can taste that smooth Irish Creme Liqueur in every bite.
You only need six ingredients to make this pie, so if baking scares you, grab this recipe and run to your kitchen. Then branch out and make a Baileys Poke Cake and obviously Baileys Fudge . . . honestly, I’m a little offended you haven’t made them already. Just kidding, we’re still friends. Wanna cheers with a Bailey’s Martini?
Over the weekend I spent three hours selling Girl Scout cookies with my middle kiddo in a grocery store.
You guys?
I don’t think I realized as a child just how much more my parents loved me than I loved them.
I get it now.
In an odd way, this No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie was born out of Girl Scout cookie season. I posted my Shamrock Shake Pie and someone said that they would like to do that but with an Oreo Crust, like a Thin Mint (YUMMY!). And THEN! Someone else commented that I should cut some of the milk, change the pudding mix to chocolate and add Baileys. And I was all, “DING DING DING! We have a winner folks!” So thank you to that kind random Facebook follower who totally inspired this pie.
And really? Who doesn’t love a good no bake pie?
NO BAKE BAILEYS CHOCOLATE PIE RECIPE
This pie is legit.
- It’s made with only six ingredients.
- It starts with a store bought crust, which for whatever reason feels like a win to me.
- It only has six ingredients! Did I say that already?
- It has enough Baileys in it that you can taste it in every single bite.
This would be the perfect pie to make in a pinch for a party. The prep time on it is so quick, and it is seriously delicious! You guests will not have any idea that you didn’t slave over it. Well . . . . the aluminum tin might be a giveaway, so cut the slices in the kitchen and then wow them when you bring the slices to the table.
TIPS FOR THIS BAILEYS CHOCOLATE PIE
- If store bought pie crusts aren’t your thing, make your own Oreo Crust.
- Be just a little big patient with this and blend it really well, scraping down the bowl in between. The last thing you want is big chunks of pudding mix hanging out in your pie.
- This pie is not super easy to slice. If you want it to look pretty, throw it in the freezer right before cutting for about 15 minutes. It won’t freeze it, but it will firm it up enough to make nice clean slices.
There you have it friends!! It’s that easy to eat your booze.
You’re welcome.
No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought Oreo crust
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 2 3.4 ounce instant chocolate pudding mixes (just the dry mix)
- 1 cup milk (I used skim)
- 1 cup Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the whipped topping, dry pudding mixes, milk, Baileys, and vanilla extract.
- Using a hand mixer, mix until smooth and you can no longer see pieces of the pudding mix. Pour into the store bought pie crust. Refrigerate for at least four hours.
- Place in the freezer for 15 minutes right before serving (optional) to achieve nicer, cleaner, slices.
Notes
Kathleen Corcoran says
I am so excited about this pie, it is just in time for family Thanksgiving. I am going to try it out this week because I can’t wait that long to taste it. I am not a fan of cooking so easy and delicious wins my heart.
I hope you love it!
KK says
This pie is delicious!!! Similar to pudding shots, but over the top with the Oreo crust and much easier to eat!
I used a little less Bailey’s as suggested, and it set up beautifully after fifteen minutes in the freezer.
I’m so happy you liked it!
Kathy says
Can I make this without the Bailey’s? If yes, do I need to add more milk? Thank you?
Absolutely, just replace the baileys with some milk. If you want to jazz it up a little add some mint extract.
Moira Rochon says
I used 3/4 cup bailey’s, folded the cool whip in to the pudding mixture and froze the pie, came out perfect! Easier to slice when it’s frozen.
I’m so glad you liked it!
Mike Shattuck says
I should have listened to my instincts. There is no setting agent in this liquid concoction. I followed the directions EXACTLY and 20 hours later I still have a pie crust soaking in the liquid in my refridgerator. The next step is to freeze this HOWEVER there then is two choice. 1) Freeze it enough to firm up just enough to easily slice (Who the hell want’s to coordinate this?) or freeze it completely in which case you get a rock hard frozen pie. So yeah, thank you for this awesome recipe that cost me about 15$ in Bailey’s Irish Cream. I guess I will do as my wife suggests and just drink my pie with a straw later on.
To anyone reading this, a no bake pie needs a setting agent to work. This recipe did not have one.
Hi Mike! I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t work for you – I definitely know how frustrating that can be. I wish I could walk through this with you in person to trouble shoot what went wrong. That being said, the Cool Whip acts a stabilizer. If someone were to substitute whipped cream without making it stable that would definitely make this recipe fail. Though my stabilized whipped cream would work here. I’ve made this recipe multiple times and it has set, and I’ve had lots of readers make it and have it set. Again, I’m sorry this didn’t work for you, I’m not quite sure what went wrong.
Gemma V. Short says
I bet it would set up better if you used a packet of Dream Whip instead of the tub of Cool Whip. It would soak up the excess liquid making it thicker.
Just to be clear, I’ve made this several times and I’ve never had trouble with it setting.
Melissa says
It’s in the oven now! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I hope when you wrote oven you meant refrigerator. This recipe definitely will not hold up in the oven.
Clarice says
What would happen if you cut back on the milk? Say, half a cup instead of a full cup? Anybody? Would it be less runny?
Just to be clear, I’ve never had an issue with this pie being runny and I have lots of readers who haven’t had an issue either.
Diane says
Is the frozen whip topping the small or large container?
The 8 ounce container.
Gloria says
This loose filling may be helped by the addition of a package of unflavored gelatin dissolved in som3 of the milk and mixed in. I would also reduce the Baileys to 3/4 cup.
I will just mention that there are plenty of people that this has worked beautifully for as written.
