Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust

Mocha Cream Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant coffee or espresso powder (dissolved in 1 Tbsp hot water)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1½ cups heavy cream, whipped (divided)

Garnish

  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make mocha filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well combined. Stir in the dissolved instant coffee or espresso powder and mix thoroughly to infuse the mocha flavor.
  2. Fold in cream: Gently fold 1 cup of the whipped heavy cream into the mocha mixture, carefully combining until fluffy and evenly mocha-colored without deflating the whipped cream.
  3. Fill crust: Spread the mocha cream filling evenly into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top for an even surface.
  4. Top with cream: Spread or pipe the remaining ½ cup of whipped cream over the top of the filling to create a creamy topping layer.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld perfectly.
  6. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream to ensure a rich, smooth texture.
  • You can substitute espresso powder with strong brewed espresso for a stronger coffee flavor.
  • Make sure to dissolve the coffee powder in hot water to avoid any graininess in the filling.
  • Allowing the pie to chill overnight enhances firmness and depth of flavor.
  • To save time, use store-bought whipped cream instead of whipping fresh heavy cream, though fresh whipping yields the best texture.
