Irish Cream Chocolate Pie Recipe

I don’t really know what this history behind the meaning of “luck of the Irish,”, but I have to think pie was involved. If not, it should’ve been. Pie makes everything better. Pie makes you feel lucky—like you just hit the jackpot—the ole leprechaun pot of gold jackpot.

This Irish Cream Chocolate Pie certainly falls under the jackpot in the pie category. It’s easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. The hardest thing about this pie is having to wait the 6 hours or so for it to set up, other than that, it’s as easy as, you know, pie.

Easy Irish Cream Chocolate Pie

Irish Cream Chocolate Pie notes:

  • When adding the melted chocolate to the whipped cream mixture, it will take a while to incorporate. Sometimes as the chocolate continues to cool down it may create tiny bits of chocolate throughout the pie. That is okay. It will still taste great! 
  • A pre-made chocolate cookie crust may be used.
  • This pie can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and kept (gently) covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
