Melt butter and chocolate. Set aside to cool. Whisk together espresso powder, Kahlua, salt, and vanilla. Set aside. Beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until mixture is light, about 5 minutes. Add chocolate mixture and beat until just combined. Add Kahlua mixture and beat until just combined. In a separate bowl beat egg whites until foamy. Add remaining sugar. Beat until soft peaks form. Scoop about 1 cup of egg whites into chocolate mixture. Gently fold in egg whites for about 30 seconds. Repeat with all egg whites. Do not overmix. Pour batter into crust. Bake 38-42 minutes. Cool.
