I've made this pie for as long as I can remember. If you like Mocha Frappe's you will love this pie. I add a layer of Ganache before adding the filling...my son doesn't like coffee, but he just loves this pie...this recipe is for a 7 inch pie...it serves 4 larger or 6 small pieces...I hope you'll give it a try...enjoy!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

CRUST
2/3 c graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp melted, butter
2 Tbsp sugar
FILLING
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c water
2 tsp instant coffee granules
1 - 8 oz cool whip, thawed
1 Tbsp whiskey, optional - i didn't use
1 tsp vanilla, if not using whiskey
GANACHE
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
about 1 Tbsp corn syrup
1 1/2 Tbsp cream
NOTE: THIS COULD EASILY BE DOUBLED FOR A LARGER PIE..

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 7 in. pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
  • 2. While crust cools, make Ganache. In a microwave safe bowl, add Ganache ingredients, microwave for about 30 second, stir. If needs more melting, place back in microwave for a few more seconds.
  • 3. Spread Ganache evenly onto the crust. Set aside.
  • 4. Make filling: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Combine the water, whiskey or vanilla if desired and coffee granules; beat into cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  • 5. Fold in whipped topping.
  • 6. Spoon into crust. I then grated some chocolate on top. Totally optional...I have also in the past grated a few Andes mints on the top. Enjoy!
