Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim edges and crimp decoratively. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Cool on rack.
  • For Filling:
  • Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cocoa, then cream and espresso powder. Pour into large bowl. Add corn syrup, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt; whisk until well blended. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake until puffed and set, about 1 hour. Transfer to rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
  • Cut pie into wedges. Transfer to plates. Serve with dollops of Coffee Whipped Cream.
