Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust

Espresso Mixture

  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

Filling

  • 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), divided

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Espresso Powder: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso powder into the hot water and let it cool for about a minute to avoid curdling or melting the whipped topping later.
  2. Mix Pudding and Irish Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, milk, Irish cream liqueur, and the cooled espresso mixture until well combined.
  3. Beat the Mixture: Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture for approximately 2 minutes until it begins to thicken and becomes smooth.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in two-thirds of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated and smooth, maintaining the light and airy texture.
  5. Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the chocolate coffee pudding mixture into the pre-made chocolate pie crust, spreading it evenly and smoothing the surface.
  6. Top the Pie: Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top of the pie to create a creamy, airy finish.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set and firm to the touch.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder for an elegant presentation and extra chocolate flavor.

Notes

  • Use cold milk to help the pudding set properly for a firmer texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant espresso powder to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Irish cream liqueur with an equal amount of milk or coffee-flavored syrup.
  • Letting the pie chill overnight enhances the flavors and texture.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
