Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Pie Shell: Pillsbury used to sell a box of premade pie crust mix. The box contained two packages of mix and one was used for this recipe. I couldn’t find the mix at my local market so made a crust from scratch and sprinkled the grated chocolate and chopped nuts on the bottom of the unbaked shell. A premade crust would work nicely as well. My favorite brand of premade unbaked crust is Marie Callender’s .If you find the Pillsbury mix here is what you do. Combine 1 stick of pie crust, brown sugar, finely chopped nuts and grated chocolate. Mix with a fork till blended. Press into 9 inch buttered pie dish.
For either crust bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool completely.
Filling: In a small bowl with electric mixer beat butter till creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat till very light. Blend in chocolate and instant coffee powder. Add egg. Beat 5 minutes. Add second egg and beat five minutes longer. Don’t cut this time short. The sugar melts during the mixing process. Turn filling into pie shell. Chill overnight.
Topping: Combine whipping cream, vanilla extract, coffee powder and sugar. Refrigerate 1 hour. Beat cream till stiff. Spread over filling and decorate with chocolate shavings. Chill at least 3 hours and serve.
