Crust
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (about 9 inches)
Filling
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Topping
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
- Prepare the crust: Press the prepared graham cracker crust evenly into your pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator to keep it firm and crunchy while you prepare the filling.
- Brew the coffee and combine flavors: Brew a strong cup of coffee. In a bowl, mix the cooled coffee with Irish whiskey and instant coffee granules if using, creating a concentrated coffee base for the filling.
- Make the creamy filling: Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the coffee and whiskey mixture, then gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture to create a smooth and airy filling.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the creamy coffee filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set and firm to the touch.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with freshly whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Use chilled mixing bowls to whip cream for better results and fluffier texture.
- Adjust the sweetness of the filling by tasting the coffee mixture before folding in whipped cream.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal) to ensure it sets properly.
- Always use freshly brewed strong coffee for the richest flavor and aroma.
- For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry before cutting.
