Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 2024 cookies)
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 1 cup strong brewed hot coffee
  • ½ cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust: Crush chocolate cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Brew the Coffee and Mix Filling: Brew a strong batch of hot coffee. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the hot coffee, Irish cream liqueur, sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Whip the Cream Topping: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. For a marbled effect, gently fold some of the coffee filling into the whipped cream; otherwise, keep the whipped cream plain for layering.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the coffee filling evenly over the chilled chocolate crust. Spread the whipped cream topping carefully over the filling to create a fluffy, inviting layer.
  5. Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set fully. Before serving, sprinkle chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder for an elegant finishing touch.

Notes

  • Chill the pie thoroughly to ensure the filling firms up for clean slicing.
  • Use freshly brewed strong coffee for optimal flavor; avoid cold or weak coffee.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain its airiness and light texture.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or alcohol levels before assembling the pie.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
