### **Ingredients You’ll Need**
To make this luscious Irish Cream Fudge Pie, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– **For the Crust:**
– 1 ½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
– **For the Fudge Filling:**
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
– ½ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
– 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
– **For the Whipped Cream Topping:**
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
### **Step-by-Step Instructions**
1. **Prepare the Crust:**
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chocolate wafer crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the crumbs down firmly. Once the crust is formed, refrigerate it while you prepare the filling. This helps the crust set.
2. **Make the Fudge Filling:**
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer, but not boil. Once the cream is warm, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped semisweet chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. **Add Irish Cream and Butter:**
Stir in the Irish cream liqueur, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter. Mix until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and whisk until smooth and well-combined. The Irish cream gives the filling a rich, velvety texture with a delightful hint of sweetness.
4. **Assemble the Pie:**
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared chocolate crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure it’s evenly distributed. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set properly. The result will be a rich, fudge-like filling with the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess.
