Pi.
Today is Pi Day. Also known as Pie Day for those that like pie, such as myself.
For Pie Day, obviously I wanted to make some pie.
I've had a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream that I've been needing to use up for a while. So I did a Google search for "bailey's pie." And I stumbled upon this delicious creation from She Wears Many Hats.
It was super easy, most of the ingredients I already had and it required no baking. It was a done deal.
It came out soooo good. The slight bitter taste of the alcohol balances the sweetness of the chocolate, leaving it not too sweet and me wanting more.
I actually made this a day ahead and it was killing me something fierce to not take a bite yesterday. But my patience paid off. I dived into my slice after a workout and I can't even explain the joy I had.
Booze and desserts are always a good combo with me. This pie is a win if you're like that too. I wouldn't recommend feeding this to minors though. Because baking isn't involved, the alcohol is definitely present.
Bailey's Salted Caramel Chocolate Pie
from She Wears Many Hats
-6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips or morsels
-1 c heavy cream or whipping cream
-1 tbsp sugar
-4 (or more) tbsp of Bailey's Irish Cream (your choice of flavor, I imagine it would taste good regardless)
-chocolate cookie pie crust (make it yourself or buy it)
-course salt for sprinkling
-and whatever toppings you want; I drizzled melted caramel over it
Melt the chocolate and set aside.
Beat together the cream and sugar until soft peaks form. You want it pourable but enough of a solid to hold a shape.
Mix in the Irish cream and melted chocolate.
Pour into the pie crust and top with the salt and additional toppings.
Put it in the fridge for 4-6 hours, or until it sets.
