This No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie is the perfect easy dessert . . . . with booze! This pie seriously comes together in about 5 minutes and is so tasty! The recipe does not skimp on the Baileys, so you can taste that smooth Irish Creme Liqueur in every bite. You only need six ingredients to make this pie, so if baking scares you, grab this recipe and run to your kitchen. Then branch out and make a Baileys Poke Cake and obviously Baileys Fudge . . . honestly, I’m a little offended you haven’t made them already. Just kidding, we’re still friends. Wanna cheers with a Bailey’s Martini?
Over the weekend I spent three hours selling Girl Scout cookies with my middle kiddo in a grocery store.
You guys?
I don’t think I realized as a child just how much more my parents loved me than I loved them.
I get it now.
In an odd way, this No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie was born out of Girl Scout cookie season. I posted my Shamrock Shake Pie and someone said that they would like to do that but with an Oreo Crust, like a Thin Mint (YUMMY!). And THEN! Someone else commented that I should cut some of the milk, change the pudding mix to chocolate and add Baileys. And I was all, “DING DING DING! We have a winner folks!” So thank you to that kind random Facebook follower who totally inspired this pie.
And really? Who doesn’t love a good no bake pie?
NO BAKE BAILEYS CHOCOLATE PIE RECIPE
This pie is legit.
- It’s made with only six ingredients.
- It starts with a store bought crust, which for whatever reason feels like a win to me.
- It only has six ingredients! Did I say that already?
- It has enough Baileys in it that you can taste it in every single bite.
This would be the perfect pie to make in a pinch for a party. The prep time on it is so quick, and it is seriously delicious! You guests will not have any idea that you didn’t slave over it. Well . . . . the aluminum tin might be a giveaway, so cut the slices in the kitchen and then wow them when you bring the slices to the table.
TIPS FOR THIS BAILEYS CHOCOLATE PIE
- If store bought pie crusts aren’t your thing, make your own Oreo Crust.
- Be just a little big patient with this and blend it really well, scraping down the bowl in between. The last thing you want is big chunks of pudding mix hanging out in your pie.
- This pie is not super easy to slice. If you want it to look pretty, throw it in the freezer right before cutting for about 15 minutes. It won’t freeze it, but it will firm it up enough to make nice clean slices.
There you have it friends!! It’s that easy to eat your booze.
You’re welcome.

Liz White says
These receipes look so Divine cant wait to try them
Nellie Brown says
Everything looks so good any way we could get a recipe book
Lisa Longley says
You are too kind, Nellie! There are no books in the works at this point 🙂
Liz says
Quick question. The No Bake Baileys Chocolate Pie recipe calls for chocolate pudding mix.
Am I correct in assuming this should be “instant” pudding type?
Lisa Longley says
Yup!
Courtney says
WISH I knew this before making the pie with regular and having it not set! I’ve got a house of 9 awaiting this pie and it’s ruined
Lisa Longley says
Hi Courtney, it says instant pudding mix right in the recipe ingredient list. I’m not sure what else I could have done to help you with this.
Jeffery Ryan says
Lol….she must have had a bit of Bailey’s before the mixing began!
Erika Ann says
Oh my! This looks so delicious and very easy to do. Might try this at my mom’s place over the weekend. Thank you for the idea!
Lisa Longley says
I hope you loved it.
Frieda Haley says
I can’t find “2 3.4 ounce chocolate pudding mixes (just the dry mix)”. All I can find is JELL-O 3.9 oz. or larger boxes. Would this size JELL-O package be o.k. or can you tell me where to find the small packages? Thanks!
Lisa Longley says
I would go with two 3.9 oz boxes and just make sure you mix it really well.
Christianne Boudreau says
I heard a rumor after I made this pie that it is even better than it looks. Quick and easy to put together. Good way to trick someone that you can create miracles.
Lisa Longley says
Lolololol!! I’m so happy to hear this!
Susan says
It’s more of a question. Would you use Instant or Cooking type Chocolate Pudding Mix? Thank you.
Lisa Longley says
Hi Susan, I used instant pudding mix.
Catherine says
Made this today and followed the direction and ingredients to a T and it won’t set… came out runny. Even after 7 hours in the fridge and now 2 hours in the freezer it’s still jiggling in the middle. And it’s not fluffy like in your picture. It says a hand mixer to blend it so I used it on the lowerest speed but I’m wondering if I should have just blended it by hand with a spoon? Any thoughts before I try it again? Don’t wanna waist too much Baileys
Lol
Lisa Longley says
I’m so sorry this didn’t work out for you Catherine! I’m not sure what went wrong. If you followed the recipe, it should have turned out. There isn’t a lot of ways to mess this guy up, like some other recipes that have flour or powdered sugar that could be measured wrong. The only thing I can think of is if you might have used 1 box of pudding instead of two. I’ve had lots of other people try this with great success!
Gillian says
You probably used the pudding mix to cook instead of instant pudding mix.
Beth says
Mix everything but the whipped topping then fold in the whipped topping. It can separate if you use a mixer causing it to not set up.
Barb says
To avoid the lumps, mix the pudding mix and milk until smooth. Then add the rest of the stuff. I want to try this with Kahlua!
Jackie says
Is it bad to drink a shot of the Baileys between ingredients?
Lisa Longley says
Oh shoot! I must have left out that step! ????
Kathy May says
I bet this would be good using Godiva chocolate liqueur in place of the Baileys (my husband is a chocoholic)! LOL! I may give it a try.
Lisa Longley says
I bet that would be amazing!
Lori says
Would this recipe be good without the alcohol or would I need to add something to it since it would be missing the flavor of the Baileys? I’d like to make it for my grandbabies!
Lisa Longley says
You could try replacing it with just milk!
Julie says
Why not try Bailey’s coffee creamer? No alcohol but nice flavour
Valerie says
Mmmm that sounds good too
SiSi says
OMG!
Just made the Bailey’s pie, it’s delish.
THANK YOU for the easy to follow recipe.
Lisa Longley says
So glad you liked it!
Berna says
Made this pie for some of my co- workers and it was fabulous
Thank you fir sharing.
Lisa Longley says
So glad you liked it!
Abbey says
Hey there! For the whipped topping are you using cool whip? Or ready whip? Or something else? I have a broken ankle and have been eyeing this recipe for weeks!! My bf finally has a day off tomorrow so I’m sending him to the store and making this happen lol. I feel like it’ll help me heal faster lol ????
Lisa Longley says
I’m so bad at responding to comments right away, but yours caught my eye! I’m a sucker for healing through booze and chocolate, lol! Cool Whip! I hope the pie helps!
Abbey says
Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to make it tonight!!
Francine says
If I cannot find the Oreo crust, can I use a graham cracker crust premade? Or maybe add some kind of extra chocolate to it?
Lisa Longley says
This would be great with a plain graham cracker crust. Or if you wanted you could make an oreo crust, I know there are some great recipes out there.
Carol says
I’m guessing that instead of Cool Whip, normal whipping cream (beat longer so it’s a bit firmer) would be delicious. Or should I stick to using Cool Whio?
Lisa Longley says
I would stick with cool whip. Heavy whipping cream isn’t stabilized, so it won’t do great in this pie.
Jay says
Could I use sugar free chocolate pudding mix ?
Lisa Longley says
I haven’t tried that, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!
Ellie says
Can this be made a few days ahead and frozen?
Lisa Longley says
Yes! I actually had a reader just mention how great this was keeping it in the freezer.
Margaret says
Too bad your video only shows one box of pudding mix being poured in.
Good to read comments before making..
Going to make it for grandsons birthday tomorrow
Thanks for recipe.
Lisa Longley says
Hi Margaret! I definitely understand your frustration. My videos are definitely just meant to serve as temptation to read the recipe, they aren’t meant to be followed instead of reading the recipe. I also don’t include the measurements for the vanilla or say how much Baileys you need. I hope your adult grandson enjoys it!
Gail says
This is a real temptation….but its not keto! Any way to make more keto friendly??
Lisa Longley says
Hi Gail! I am for sure no expert when it comes to Keto. My gut says no. It pretty much flies in the face of everything Keto. If you want some Keto desserts, I would check out this blog: https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com
Jacquie says
Do you think i could change the Baileys to Carolan’s?
Lisa Longley says
I don’t know what Carolan’s is, but I’ve tried this same recipe substituting other alcohols and it has worked great!
Cindy says
I’m curious if adding 4 ox of cream cheese with 1/4 cup of sugar mixed with cool whip before folding into the pudding would give the pie more solidification?
Sara says
I make one similar, but I doesn’t have baileys in it. I use heavy cream in it….that would help it set a lot better. (A lot of fat obviously, but with a pie like that? 🤷🏻♀️ lol)
Nicole Allaire says
Think graham cracker crust would ruin it? I’m gonna do chocolate shavings on top so afraid chocolate crust may be too much?!?
Lisa Longley says
I’m of the belief that more chocolate is better, lol. But! No, I don’t think a graham cracker crust would ruin it at all.
Lori says
Wondering if adding cream cheese would be okay.
Lisa Longley says
I haven’t tried adding cream cheese. It would likely be too much for one pie crust, but the filling itself would probably taste delicious!
Flo says
What size pie crust?
Lisa Longley says
I’ve only ever seen one size sold, I believe 9 inch.
Alexis Koch says
Recipe Does Not Work.
Tried making this recipe exactly as stated, pie filling stayed a soupy mess. Pie crust dissolved. Just absolutely terrible.
Lisa Longley says
I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t work for you. I’ve had so many people make this with good results. Is it possible that you used cook and serve pudding and not instant pudding?
C. Geller says
I made changes to the recipe. Used only 1/2 cup of milk and used one large pudding mix. Next time I think I will use a 1/2 cp Baileys and a 1 cp of milk. To me the Baileys was just a little to strong.
Leigh Downey says
Did you use a deep dish pie crust?
Lisa Longley says
I used a store bought pie crust, and I do not believe that it was deep dish.
Beth Williams says
I suggest if the recipe is too runny, you get out some wine glasses, extra cool whip, crunch up your cust and make parfaits.
Daniel says
If having problems setting add just a little bit more pudding mix.
