Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie is an adult dessert made with an Oreo cookie crust that is filled with a chocolate cheesecake flavored with Baileys Irish Cream. If you love Baileys, be sure to try my Drunken Snowman cocktail for another fun and tasty adult treat.
Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie
This no-bake dessert will satisfy your sweet tooth, plus give you a little taste (and kick) of Baileys Irish Cream in every bite. It starts with the cookie crust and then the creamy chocolate cheesecake filling. Top it with homemade whipped topping. For a kid-friendly version of the pie, try my Chocolate Heath Pie.
Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie Ingredients
Oreo Cookies: For the crust, crush 24 Oreo cookies, including the filling. I like to use a food processor to get the finest crumb.
Cream Cheese: It’s very important to make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using. This will give you a smooth and creamy consistency for the perfect cheesecake texture.
Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur: This is an alcoholic beverage made with cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey. It is delicious on its own, over ice, in coffee, or, of course, in this dessert.
Whipped Topping: Whipped topping, like cool whip, is used to give the cheesecake a light and fluffy consistency, so be sure to fold it in gently in the last step. If you don’t have any on hand, make your own homemade whipped topping. It’s also used to top the dessert.
How to Store
This Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie is best stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will last up to 5 days.
Can I Freeze No-Bake Cheesecakes?
Yes! Just like a baked cheesecake, this cheesecake freezes well. Without any toppings, wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap. Then, wrap it up in aluminum foil. Label and date the cheesecake and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months. When ready to eat, take it out of the freezer, remove the aluminum foil (but leave it wrapped in plastic wrap), and let it thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Did you make this recipe?
Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
I made this the other day and it was gone in no time! I did make the whipped cream, too, instead of using Cool Whip. Fantastic!
Curious, I was thinking about trying to version w/ the Strawberry Baileys, using a graham cracker crust instead. Any ideas on what to use to replace the cocoa powder? Maybe strawberry jello?
Also, for anybody wondering, 3 tablespoons of Baileys is exactly what’s in a nip bottle.
What’s a nip bottle ?
Can this pie be frozen minus whipped cream?
Absolutely delicious and so easy! I used 1/2 c Baileys instead of 1/4 c and it was just right for me and my bf!
I made this pie last night. It doesn’t look fluffy – it looks creamy. Also, it’s not as dark a chocolate as pictured.
The recipe calls for 1 1/3 cups (293 g) of confectioner’s sugar. As I’m weighing it out, it looked like a lot more than 1 1/3 cups. I looked up what 1 1/3 cups of confectioner’s sugar is in grams and I came up with 155 grams.
Just made it for a late St Pat’s day get together tomorrow.. Saturday..very easy and looks delicious and professional…. can’t wait to eat it.. of course I did have a little taste already..5 stars…
Delicious. A little sweet for me so I will have to reduce it next time, but it was a hit. Thank you
what can you use instead of Baily’s Irish cream we don’t have that around here.

I absolutely love your recipes! I would like to know how to print them. When I go to print, it won’t let me. Thanks for your help and your delicious recipes 🥰
HI Sue – I would make sure you are not in the FB browser. For some reason Facebook won’t let people print when they access my page right from Facebook. If you open up the page in your browser instead, it will print for you!
I was wondering if you could mix some marscapone with the cream cheese? Like 16 oz of marscapone and 4 oz of cream cheese or maybe less marscapone and more cream cheese. Thoughts?
What is the difference between Dutch processed cocoa powder then the regular cocoa powder ?
What is the exact amount of whipped topping : 2 cups, 16 oz, or 2 containers?
This is what it says in the recipe card:
“2 cups (8 ounces) whipped topping, ” so that is 2 cups.
It says this in the notes of the recipe card:
“I piped out very tall whipped cream dollops with an 8B tip. I used 8 ounces of whipped cream to do this – or the equivalent of one carton of Cool Whip. You can use much less and simply smooth it out.”
