Recipe Notes

• Allow time to completely chill the pie before serving.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Prepare frozen or premade crust (your preference: regular, graham cracker or Oreo) according to package directions. Let crust cool.
2. Heat milk in small pot. Bring to a simmer then add instant coffee (amount depends on how strong/rich you want it). Turn off heat and let cool.
3. Use the coffee milk to make instant pudding according to package directions. Once pudding has thickened, add to pie crust. Chill in fridge until ready to serve.
4. Once chilled, grind 2 teaspoons instant coffee (can be done with fingers) to fine dust. Make sure that the pie is completely cold, then top pie with whipped cream. Dust with instant coffee. Garnish with chocolate (optional), such as chocolate chips, chocolate curls, chocolate covered espresso beans, mini Hershey bars, etc.
