I made this pie for a potluck at the company where I was interning over the winter, and hoo boy did they ever love me! Seriously, I had people thanking me for completely destroying their diets, and I had people beg for the recipe! Hopefully I turned a few more people on to Pioneer Woman, because with food this good, how could I ever justify keeping it to myself?
This comes together quickly, the most tedious part is grating the chocolate, and even that isn’t too bad. The instant coffee I used stayed in noticeable pieces…so maybe I ought to grind it down with a mortar and pestle next time I make this. Either way, I will absolutely make this again!

This pie tasted amazing! Especially the crust…YUMMMM! Because it is not cooked, the sugar in the pie never dissolves and results in a slightly grainy texture. The flavor was worth putting up with the grainy-ness : )

This was a very good pie! The time spent mixing and whipping is well worth it. Couldn’t get over the “grittiness” of it though.

I made this pie for company and it was delicious. One thing I changed: I didn’t have instant coffee granules, so I just threw in a bit of strong coffee. I didn’t get the grittiness that other folks identified from the granules. It would be VERY easy to omit the granules (or dissolve them in a bit of hot water first) and just throw in a bit of coffee if y’all didn’t like that part of the texture.
The crucial thing for me was the wait time in whipping the eggs – it cannot be fudged. It took away most of the grittiness from the sugar and transformed what should have been crunchy, buttery goo into a silky filling. I plan to make this again with any number of flavor variations. Thank you PW!

I made this yesterday and it’s disgustingly good! Very similar to my French Silk Pie recipe, with the Kahlua and coffee crystals thrown in. We ate too much and feel like a couple of gluttons. Very easy to make – I’m taking this to the next function I have to “bake” for.

P.S. I forgot to mention that in the interest of saving time, I used a premade extra large graham cracker crust and it was really good in that.

A M A Z I N G!!!!! I didn’t know crack came in the form of PIE!!!!!!!!!! Seriously.. I had to give half to my neighbors so I wouldn’t eat it all.. I did have enough of the filling to make 2 custard size mini pies, so I suggest going over a bit on your measurements for the pie crust, so you will have enough for the small pies. Amazing the first day, OFF THE HOOK, good Lord where did I put the # for WW’s on the second day.. My taste buds thank you, my backside doesn’t…

I made this for Sweet Roggie’s birthday – what a hit! I don’t have a stand mixer, however, so the egg beating was a joint project. But the results were out of this world! I didn’t have Kahlua on hand so I used cold coffe. The coffee flavor was delicious! Love it, love it, love it!

SINFUL. You MUST make this. The only thing is that the Kahlua was too strong for us, so next time I might do 1tbs Kahlua and 1tbs melted butter, or do as another reviewer suggested and use cold coffee. I might cut back a tad on the instant coffee as well, but this pie is scrumptious and easy. My 12 year old daughter made it from start to finish with no assistance from me, and we don’t have a stand mixer.

This is delicious! When making the crust the second time around I didn’t have enough semi-sweet chocolate, so I added 1 Tb cocoa powder and also added 1 Tb. coconut oil. The coconut oil makes it even tastier!

This pie actually keeps well for a long time! I made it for a girl’s night and 5 days later it was still just as ridiculously good. I did change the crust a little – a baked graham cracker crust with pecans, brown sugar & butter. And it too was just as good as the first nite, not soggy at all.
Surprised it wasn’t polished off??? We had 3 other desserts between 5 of us to contend with that evening…
This is an excellent make-ahead recipe.
