โข 360ml whole milk ๐ฅ
โข 3 large egg yolks ๐ฅ
โข 60ml Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys) ๐
โข 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ๐ผ
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
โข 240ml heavy cream ๐ฅ
โข 2 tablespoons powdered sugar ๐ฌ
โข 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ๐ผ
โข Crumbled graham crackers or toasted coconut for garnish (optional) ๐ฅฅ
โข Preheat your oven to 175ยฐC (350ยฐF). ๐ฅ
โข In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
โข Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 23cm (9-inch) pie pan.
โข Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
โข In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a boil. ๐ฅ
โข In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.
โข Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens further and begins to bubble. ๐
โข Remove from heat and stir in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract.
โข Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. โ๏ธ
