Oreo Crust:
- 22 Oreo cookies
- 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
Nutella Irish Cream Filling:
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4-6 Tablespoons Irish Cream (I used Baileys)
Irish Cream Whipped Cream:
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Irish Cream
Make the Crust:
Place the Oreos in a food processor, and pulse until finely crushed. (Alternatively, cookies can be crushed in a large ziplock bag, sealed, and crushed with a rolling pin.) Pour crushed cookies into a medium bowl.
Add the melted butter, and toss with a fork. Press crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
Make the Filling:
In the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a separate bowl in the refrigerator and return bowl to mixer. Replace whisk attachment with paddle attachment.
Pour the chocolate chips and Nutella into a medium microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth.
In the stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and Irish Cream together until smooth and combined. Add your Nutella mixture and beat on high until smooth and satiny. Add 1 cup of the of the whipped cream, beating until just combined. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in the rest of the whipped cream.
Pour the filling into the crust and use a spatula or butter knife to create a smooth surface on top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
To Decorate:
Place the Nutella into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Drizzle Nutella evenly over the pie.
Pipe whipped cream along the perimeter of the pie. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
