Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Cream Pie

[Scott]

6 ounces Ready Crust (graham/choc)
1 package Unflavored gelatine (env)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3/4 cup Milk
3/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
6 ounces Semisweet choc chips
2 cups Frozen whipped topping
Add if you wish - -Choc-dipped strawberries

In saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatine over milk. Let stand about 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatine is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add chocolate and continue cooking, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted: stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and stir occasionally, adding Bailey's about five minutes after removal from heat. When mixture forms mounds when dropped from spoon, fold in whipped topping.
Turn into crust. Garnish with more whipped topping (or real whipped cream, later, by preference) and strawberries. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.
