Luck O' the Irish Cream Pie

Top of the Morning to you!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Prayers to those that need them.  I hope your week is going great.  Tomorrow is Friday woo hoo!  Hey, don't have too much of that green beer tonight, lol! :D.  In staying with our theme this week I am still using my Irish cookbook and today's dessert is yummy!  It's been a couple of years since I have made it, but remember it well.  Life style changes and all, you know.  Pie isn't really included that often.  Hope everyone at your Asylum is well, happy and enjoy the daylights out of this pie!
