Step 1: Mix the Pudding
Grab your mixing bowl and whisk together the whole milk, Baileys, and instant chocolate pudding mix until it’s smooth. It’ll take about a minute—don’t rush it. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken up. This is where the Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie starts to take shape, and the kitchen fills with that sweet, boozy scent.

Step 2: Layer the Pie
Spread half of the thickened pudding into your Oreo pie crust, smoothing it out with your spatula. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo crumbs and mini chocolate chips over the top—think of it as the plot twist in this creamy tale. Then gently layer the rest of the pudding over it, creating a velvety blanket of chocolate goodness.

Step 3: Chill It
Cover the pie with plastic wrap—press it right onto the pudding to avoid that pesky skin forming. Pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you’ve got time. This wait is the hardest part, but it’s worth it for that perfect set.

Step 4: Whip the Cream
When you’re ready to serve, grab your mixer and a bowl. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form—about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and Baileys (or vanilla if you’re keeping it tame), then whip for another minute until it’s thick and holds its shape. This whipped cream is the dreamy crown for your Baileys Chocolate Cream Pie.

Step 5: Assemble and Decorate
Dollop all that whipped cream onto the chilled pie—don’t skimp! Spread it out or pile it high, then sprinkle on your toppings. Mini chocolate chips, shavings, extra Oreo crumbs, a dusting of cocoa—go wild. This is your chance to make it Instagram-worthy.

Step 6: Slice and Savor
Cut into that beauty and serve it up. Each bite is a mix of creamy, crunchy, and just a little naughty thanks to the Baileys. It’s a quick holiday treat that feels like you spent hours on it—but we’ll keep the 10-minute secret between us.
