Description
Indulge in a no-bake dessert that combines whipped cream, cream cheese, real coffee, and Irish cream liqueur in a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for the heavy cream if you have time. Pour the heavy cream into the bowl. Add the powdered sugar. Whip until the cream holds stiff peaks.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the Irish cream liqueur, cooled brewed coffee, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and silky.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until homogeneous and light.
- Spoon half the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Spread evenly to the edges.
- Add the remaining filling on top. Smooth the surface.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Before serving, top with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best mouthfeel. Cut the powdered sugar to 1/3 cup for less sweetness. For a gluten-free version, swap for a gluten-free cookie crust.
