Irish Cream Pie in Jars
Not only is packing desserts in jars addicting, but so is eating them! My husband now says, "We don't have any desserts in jars in the fridge, how come?"
I used Baileys Toffee Almond Coffee Creamer for a non-alcoholic version of this treat last time I made it and it came out great. Just a nice light combination of the melted marshmallows and the toffee almond taste. Yummy!
Graham Cracker Crust:
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add butter and mix well. Put about 2 level tablespoons of mixture into the bottom of each jar. Refrigerate jars until ready for use. |
Cream Pie:
1/2 cup milk
32 large marshmallows
1/3 cup Irish cream liqueur or a non-alcoholic Irish Cream flavored coffee creamer (or even a coffee creamer like Baileys' Toffee Almond Cream)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat marshmallows and milk until marshmallows have melted, stirring constantly. Refrigerate marshmallow mixture for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it mounds somewhat when dropped from a spoon. (Don't let it get overly thick - If mixture thickens too much, place it in a bowl of warm water; stir until it reaches desired consistency.)
Gradually stir in Irish Cream. In a bowl, with electric mixer, beat heavy cream on medium high speed until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the marshmallow mixture into whipped cream. Spoon over crust in jars. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator.
