Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee or espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip)

Optional Toppings:

  • Cocoa powder
  • Caramel or chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until the filling is light and fluffy.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the pie is set and firm.
  7. Before serving, top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use instant espresso powder for the richest flavor — adjust amount to taste.
  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smooth filling.
  • Fold whipped topping gently to keep the texture light and airy.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours for best results.
  • Pie can be made 1–2 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • To freeze, wrap tightly and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
