This Baileys Irish Chocolate Cream Pie is an easy to make dessert using marshmallows and chocolate and Bailey’s Irish Cream.
This recipe is near and dear to my heart.
It’s an adaptation of the first dessert I ever made for anyone.
Sure I helped my mom growing up making stuff but this was the first thing I made all by myself at home.
It came from my 7th grade Home Economics class cookbook they put out.
Teachers and parents contributed to it.
And at the end of the semester we were to make a full meal for our family including an appetizer, a main meal, and a dessert.
Looking back at it now, none of the foods I chose really went together. 😛
I made a salad with a Green Goddess Dressing from Home Ec class.
Easy Apricot Chicken for the main dish.
The original was called Heavenly Grasshopper Pie and it had Creme de Menthe in it.
I didn’t have any of that but I always do have Bailey’s.
What I love about this Baileys Irish Chocolate Cream Pie is that it has the most light texture ever.
You can make this in a pie pan or in a springform pan.
I prefer the springform just because it’s easier to cut.
Whoever designed the pie pan really wasn’t thinking about us food bloggers needing to get a nice clean cut piece.
But either works.
If you are still looking for a St. Paddy’s Day dessert this is a great last minute idea that is easy to throw together.
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!
