Kahlua Ice Cream Pie
Have you ever been to On The Border? It’s a mexican restaurant. The hubs and I love it. We used to go all the time, but there isn’t really one near us anymore.
I didn’t really grow up eating mexican food – it just wasn’t something my mom cooked a lot of. I credit the hubs for really introducing me to and helping develop my love for it. Especially when it’s something smothered in cheese…I have a weakness for melted cheese.
Anyways, this dessert has long been an agreed upon favorite between us. Since we can’t go and get it as often as we used to, it’s only natural that I’d finally get around to making my own version.
Speaking of favorite versions…my favorite version of the hubs showed up at our house last week. 😉
He teaches tennis and the month of December was reallllly slow. And truthfully January isn’t starting off so hot either. With all the rain and cold weather, the hubs has had a lot of down time. He has NOT been a fan. And the longer it lasts, the less he’s been enjoying the time off.
At first he was just bored. Then he got really bored. Then he got desperate. Do you know what happens when the hubs is THAT bored? Well I didn’t know either. But apparently he cleans the house. Wha wha!?
And then he obsesses about things staying clean.
I sure wish he didn’t have to work and this guy could stick around. I like him. 🙂
I came home to him redoing the caulking in our shower (which had been cracked a bit), fixing the door which had the magnet slipping on the bottom and he cleaned the grout in between the tiles in the shower better than I ever have. It looks brand spankin’ new!
The secret he says? Baking soda and water.
He didn’t stop there, but that was hands down the biggest surprise to come home to. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
How to Make Kahlua Ice Cream Pie
Anywho, back to the pie. It’s made using my favorite no-machine ice cream recipe. One day I suppose I’ll get around to actually making some ice cream with my ice cream machine, but this recipe is just so easy! And it really is just as creamy and wonderful as the real thing! Why make life complicated if it doesn’t need to be?
The ice cream has the usual suspects – cream cheese, milk, sugar and cool whip. Added to the base is espresso, Kahlua and some Oreos. And it all sits in an Oreo crust and gets covered with a layer of chocolate sauce.
I add additional chocolate sauce and Kahlua cream as I slice it. The perfect finishing touch! I really do love the additional Kahlua.
This pie was a big hit with myself, the hubs and his family. It disappeared in no time! Like magic!

Baileys Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Pie
How much water do you use to dissolve the espresso? I’m going to make sure his today. It looks amazing!!
2 tbsp of warm water
Hi, Could you please tell me what type/brand chocolate sauce you used? was it the syrup in the bottle or the fudge topping in the jar? thanks!
I use this one.
Hi, could you use almond or coconut milk in place of the milk?
You can. The ice cream may be a little less creamy, without as much fat in the milk.
My God, these pies are mouthwatering !!! Hmmm …
That’s an amazing ice cream pie. I have a bottle of Kahlua sitting and I have to try this recipe for sure. Pinning it!!
Perfect! Glad I could help you use up the Kahlua 😉 Thanks for the pin!
How did I miss this? Sounds amazing!
Thanks Julianne!
So glad I stumbled across this on What’s Cookin’ Wednesday–it’s rare I get SO excited about a dessert that includes all my favorite elements and is so simple (but flavor-packed), too! Frozen desserts + Kahlua just had to happen. Thank you very much, duly bookmarked!
Thanks Ala! I’m glad you stumbled over too 🙂
I love ice cream. Even though it usually bothers my stomach when I eat it, it’s still my favorite treat. This ice cream pie is to die for, Lindsay! I love the Kahlua that you used in it. Perfect! Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Mondays. Pinning and sharing on social media!
Thank you Julie! And thank you for all the shares 🙂 What a bummer that ice cream bothers your stomach – my mom is the same way but loves it. I wonder if this kind would be the same since it isn’t a traditional ice cream.
This looks delicious! I need to make this soon, as well as your other yummy treats!
Thanks Tiffany!
Linday, your ice cream pies/cakes are always the best! They look gorgeous and they taste even better! Plus, I really appreciate your no- ice cream- machine- needed recipes. I just don’t have room for another gadget! You are my go-to blog whenever an ice cream pie/cake recipe is needed. 🙂 Thanks!
Thank you Wendy! You’re so sweet! 🙂 I love a good ice cream cake.
Oh my goodness, this looks fabulous! I love anything with chocolate! Thanks for stopping by Friday With Friends! Hugs! Linda
Thanks Linda! Thanks for the party!
It’s kind of true what they say – a man who cleans is sexy. 🙂 So is this pie, oh em gee. I love Kahlua, and I love pie. #matchmadeinheaven
Definitely! Any kind of help around the house! Thanks Dorothy!
I am speechless – what a pie!
Thanks Heather!
This pie looks absolutely perfect Lindsay! Pinned!
Thanks Trish! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Ohhhh my goooodnesss I NEED this! It looks so good. I’m completely partial to anything with an Oreo crust, so this is so up my alley. Pinned!
Thanks Rachel! I love anything with Oreo too. 🙂 Thanks for the pin!
I love On The Border…I wish that we still lived close to one though. Our Mexican restaurant in town are locally owned ones and can’t even compare to On The Border. This ice cream pie sounds incredible! That chocolate sauce and Kahlua cream dripping down the sides is killing me! Pinned! 🙂
Thanks for the pin Christina! I miss having it close too. We just don’t go as often anymore. There are a ton of mexican restaurants around us!
