No Bake Baileys Mousse Pie

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• ⅓ cup butter (melted)
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ¼ cup all purpose flour
• ¾ cup whole milk
• ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons Baileys ((112 ml total, if you double the recipe then double this amount))
• 1 cup whole / whipping cream
• ¼ cup whole / whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon gelatine
• 2¾ ounces dark chocolate
• 1½ cups whole / whipping cream
• 1½ tablespoons powdered / icing sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Mix together the cookie crumbs and melted butter and press down in a lightly buttered 9 inch (23 cm) pie dish. Place in the refrigerator while you make the Mousse.

2. 2

   In a medium pot whisk together the sugar and flour, place the pan on low/medium heat and slowly while whisking add the milk, continue whisking constantly until the mixture has become very thick. Cover with plastic and set aside to cool.

3. 3

   Meanwhile whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

4. 4

   Once cool, whisk briskly to remove any lumps that may have occurred. Fold in the Baileys, then fold in the whipped cream.

5. 5

   In a small pot mix the gelatine and whipping cream, let sit for 5 minutes. Then heat on medium / low and stir just until the gelatine dissolves, do not boil. Add a couple of tablespoons of the Baileys Mousse and stir to combine. Then fold into the remaining bowl of Baileys Mousse until combined.

6. 6

   Remove the crumb base from the fridge and pour the Baileys Mousse on top. Cover lightly with plastic and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

7. 7

   Just before serving beat the whole cream and powdered sugar, and decorate the set Mousse Pie*. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired. Enjoy!
