Chocolate Irish Cream Pie Recipe

1. 1

   Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press mixture into an 8 or 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 7 minutes. Let cool at room temperature until it is no longer hot, about 5 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator until well chilled, at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Firmly and quickly whisk together the melted chocolate ice cream, Irish cream, and pudding mix. The mixture will begin to thicken quite rapidly. Spread the mixture into the prepared pie shell. Put the filled pie shell in the freezer for an hour.

3. 3

   Fifteen minutes before freezing is done, combine chocolate and butter in bowl set over simmering water. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth and melted. Gently spread on top of frozen pudding pie, making sure to spread gently and in only one direction so that the delicate pudding layer is not torn.

4. 4

   Return the pie to the refrigerator and let set for 2-3 hours. Serve chilled, with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.
