Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse Pie
"You must try this! My family waits all year for me to make this for St. Pattie's Day. It's Oh So Rich and yummy. I use Bailey's because I think it's the best, but I imagine it would work with other Irish Creams as well."

How long does it take for chocolate mixture to form mounds? Mines been sitting for 20min already. When can I add the whipped cream?

This pie is very good. I know one commentator complained that it’s not light and fluffy like a traditional mousse that is served in a glass dish. But that doesn’t work with a pie, as it would fall apart when you tried to slice it. I think this recipe is the perfect balance between a mousse like texture and stability for slicing. I did drop the Baileys from 3/4 to 1/2 cup and used a cup of milk to compensate. But that was just a matter of personal taste. -
Yummy. I made this for company over the weekend and it was gone in a flash. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry but we did not care for this at all. Made as directed & it turned out stiff, because of the gelatin I'm sure.Mousse should be fluffy & lite.Being concerned the kids would get into it was another downside. The alcolhol flavor was toooo strong for our taste. Giving it 3 stars for ease of preparation. -
I just love that this pie doesn't use instant pudding mix! Very chocolately and rich...just perfect! I sprinkled some mini chocolate chips on top. Delicious! -
Yummy!!! I made this for our annual St. Patty's day party. Really easy, really good.

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
