  • Pie base: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Crush the cookies in a bag using a rolling pin until they are crumbs, not too fine.
  • Mix the butter with the crumbs, making sure it covers them well.
  • Place a 20 cm (8-inch) bundt pan or six individual molds on a flat baking tray.
  • Spoon the buttered crumbs into the molds to form a base, and let cool in the refrigerator.
  • Pie filling: Place the egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl, add the sugar, and mix with a whisk until thickened.
  • The mixture should reach the ribbon stage, so it holds its shape and has a light color and smooth texture.
  • In another bowl, beat the cheese until smooth, add the egg mixture and Carolans Irish cream, and mix until smooth.
  • In a plate, cover the gelatin with hot water. Let it soak for a few minutes until softened, then strain and place in a pan with 30 ml of water.
  • Heat over low and stir until dissolved. Let cool and then whip together with the cheese mixture. Incorporate the orange zest.
  • Whip the double cream until it is as smooth as possible and incorporate. Pour the mixture over the crust of the pie and let it cool for an hour and a half.
