Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup Chocolate cookie crumbs or chocolate graham crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor
  • 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped baking chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream, chilled
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold For whipping
Optional toppings
  • to taste Chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, cocoa dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Stir cookie crumbs with melted butter until the texture feels like damp sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, going up the sides. Chill while you make the filling.
  2. Gently melt chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each round, until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Mix in the melted chocolate.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. With the mixer running on low, stream in Baileys. Whip to medium peaks.
  5. Fold half the whipped mixture into the chocolate base, then fold in the rest until you see no streaks.
  6. Spread the filling into the crust, smooth the top, and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Top with extra whipped cream or chocolate curls before serving.

Notes

This pie is ideal for make-ahead dessert; it tastes even better the next day. Serve cold with whipped cream, and consider adding fresh raspberries for a special touch.
