Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (or gluten-free chocolate cookies for gluten-free version)
  • 5 tablespoons softened butter

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee or cold brew concentrate (decaf optional)
  • 3 tablespoons whiskey (optional, can substitute with vanilla or almond extract for non-alcoholic)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Garnish

  • Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for dusting
  • Optional: finely chopped toasted nuts, whipped cream dollop with cinnamon or nutmeg, caramel or chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the chocolate cookies finely and combine with softened butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a pie dish to form a compact crust. Chill in the refrigerator to firm up while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Coffee Mixture: Mix the instant coffee or cold brew concentrate with whiskey and let it sit for a few minutes to meld the flavors, creating a bold and warming base.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a large cold bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat to maintain a fluffy yet smooth texture.
  4. Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Coffee: Slowly fold the sweetened condensed milk into the coffee-whiskey mixture until combined. Then gently fold in the whipped cream to create a luscious, airy filling.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy coffee mixture over the chilled chocolate crust and spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and allow flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder for an elegant finish. Optionally add nuts, whipped cream with spices, or caramel drizzle for extra flair.

Notes

  • Use cold bowls and beaters for whipping cream faster and with better volume.
  • Taste the filling before assembling and adjust the coffee or sweetened condensed milk to your liking.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Allow ample chilling time for the pie to fully set and develop richer flavors.
  • Use a good-quality whiskey to enhance aroma without overpowering the dessert.
