Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup coffee liqueur, preferably Kahlua
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Chocolate-Wafer Crust
1/3 cup dark-chocolate-covered espresso beans
1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and 2 tablespoons espresso powder, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes total (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
  • Whisk yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Pour in milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in coffee liqueur and vanilla. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until butter melts before adding next piece. Let custard cool in saucepan on a wire rack, whisking occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour custard into chocolate-wafer crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until custard filling is chilled and firm, at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • With a flat side of a chef's knife, crush espresso beans, 1 at a time. Reserve 1 tablespoon larger espresso-bean pieces.
  • Whisk together cream, confectioners sugar, and remaining teaspoon espresso powder until stiff peaks form. Fold small espresso-bean pieces into whipped cream mixture, and decoratively spread over pie. Sprinkle with reserved espresso-bean pieces, and serve immediately.

Amanda's Espresso Chocolate Pie image

This espresso chocolate pie is my own creation, I modeled it after a pie recipe I found in a magazine. That recipe used lots of pre-packaged items, I wanted something more homemade. We loved this pie, it was so fabulous! Lots of chocolate and coffee flavor.

Time 5h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅓ cup whipping cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
2 cups cold whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups milk
3 tablespoons brewed coffee
1 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
1 ounce chocolate curls, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Stir graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add melted butter, using your fingers to combine until moistened. Pat the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pan. Place the pan onto a cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place chopped chocolate and butter for the ganache in a glass or metal bowl over simmering water; stir occasionally as it begins to melt. When almost melted, slowly add cream and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and completely melted. Pour ganache into the crust; spread evenly and set aside.
  • Stir clear vanilla extract into whipping cream in a bowl. Sift in powdered sugar and beat using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Reserve 1 1/2 cups whipped cream for filling; refrigerate the rest until needed.
  • Beat cream cheese in another bowl until smooth. Add milk and brewed coffee gradually, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Turn off the mixer and use a whisk to combine smaller pieces of cream cheese with the milk.
  • Combine pudding mix and ground coffee in a separate bowl; whisk into milk mixture. Whisk in reserved 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream. Pour filling into a medium saucepan.
  • Heat filling over medium-low heat. Whisk in beaten egg slowly; continue to whisk until you have a very thick custard, 7 to 10 minutes. Do not allow to stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat. Whisk pudding in the pan and run through a strainer into a bowl. Place a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the pudding and refrigerate to cool, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Whisk pudding mixture again until smooth and pour into the pie shell on top of ganache. Top with remaining chilled whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, to overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before ready to serve. Garnish with chocolate curls.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your pie. Use good quality espresso powder, sugar, cream, and butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pie to firm up.

Conclusion:

This espresso sugar cream pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday dinner. With its rich espresso flavor, creamy filling, and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
