Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar. Melt the butter and add it to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Form Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, ensuring an even layer across the bottom and up the sides.
-
Bake Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until set and lightly golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
-
Prepare Filling: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the Kahlua, hot water, instant coffee, powdered sugar, and heavy cream.
-
Beat Filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it holds stiff peaks. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
-
Assemble Pie: Once the crust has cooled completely, pour the prepared filling into it, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Garnish: Sprinkle the grated bittersweet chocolate over the top of the filling, adding a touch of decadence and flavor.
-
Chill: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
-
Serve: Once chilled, slice the Irish Coffee Cream Pie into generous portions and serve to delighted guests, savoring each creamy, coffee-infused bite.
This delightful pie, with its rich, creamy filling and subtle hints of Kahlua and coffee, is sure to be a hit at any gathering, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy the smiles and satisfaction it brings to all who indulge!
