Description
Coffee Pie is a rich, creamy no-bake dessert that blends the bold flavors of coffee with a smooth, velvety filling, all nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s perfect for coffee lovers and a simple treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
For the Coffee Filling:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (optional, for extra coffee flavor)
For Garnish:
Whipped cream (optional)
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Coffee Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cooled brewed coffee (and instant coffee granules if using). Beat until smooth and well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture until smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the coffee filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
- Garnish and Serve: Once set, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For an extra chocolate-coffee flavor, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on the crust before adding the coffee filling.
For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder to the filling.
For an adult version, incorporate Kahlúa or Bailey’s Irish Cream into the coffee filling.
Use decaffeinated coffee for a non-caffeinated option.
