🍀 Irish Cream Pie Recipe 🍀
• 150g graham cracker crumbs 🍪
• 115g unsalted butter, melted 🧈
• 100g granulated sugar 🧂
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch 🌽
• 60ml Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys) 🍀
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 🍬
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
• Crumbled graham crackers or toasted coconut for garnish (optional) 🥥
• Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). 🔥
• In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 23cm (9-inch) pie pan.
• Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a boil. 🥄
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.
• Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens further and begins to bubble. 🔄
• Remove from heat and stir in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. ❄️
3. Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:
• In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. 🍶
• Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pie. 🎂
• Sprinkle crumbled graham crackers or toasted coconut over the whipped cream, if desired. 🌰
• Slice and serve chilled. 🍴
