Kahlua & Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie image

I lost my old recipe for Kahluah Pie and there were none like it on this site, so I improvised. It is silky, rich and I love the consistency: not too firm, soft and smooth but holds it's shape. And my crust stayed crisp! The toasted almonds are the perfect complement in flavor and crunch. A sliver is a serving - it is SO rich - and it can be made with any liqueur you like, Baileys and 'Hot Damn' (cinnamon) would be good, like the drink 'Oatmeal Cookie'.

Time 4h

Yield 1 Pie, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 baked pie crust, I prefer a traditional pastry crust
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream or 1/4 cup just more Kahlua
3 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix (to help pie set)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup icing sugar, added to the cream cheese is optional if you prefer a sweeter pie

Steps:

  • Toast almonds in a 300 degree oven while melting choc. chips in a double boiler. Watch the almonds CAREFULLY, they burn in a flash.
  • With a hand mixer, beat melted chocolate into the cream cheese till it is smooth and glossy and holds it's shape.
  • Beat in liqueur by the 1/4 cup.
  • In another bowl, whip the cream, adding in the pudding mix and the salt; beat untill it is very stiff.
  • On low, blend the two mixtures together completely.
  • Pour into a pie crust and decorate or garnish with the toasted almonds.
  • Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours; this pie improves with age.
  • You can make this far more chocolatey if you double the choc. chips.
