Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tablespoons Irish whiskey
Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipped cream
- Optional garnishes: whipped cream dollops, coffee beans, chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush chocolate cookies into fine crumbs, then mix with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the coffee filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth and creamy. Gently stir in the cooled strong brewed coffee and Irish whiskey until fully incorporated without lumps.
- Whip the cream topping: Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then carefully fold it into the coffee mixture to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula to create a polished surface. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
- Garnish before serving: Top the pie with dollops of whipped cream, sprinkle with coffee beans, or add chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the best flavor.
- Allow sufficient chilling time so the filling firms up well.
- Fold whipped cream gently to keep the pie light and airy.
- Choose a quality Irish whiskey for authentic taste.
- Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
