TIPS AND TIDBITS TO MAKE THE BEST COFFEE PIE
Chocolate pie crust. This recipe calls for a chocolate pie crust. I have used a store bought chocolate graham crust and an Oreo pie crust. Both homemade and store-bought are equally delicious.
Intense coffee flavor. The recipe calls for hazelnut instant coffee, but if you are not a fan of hazelnut flavor or want a bold coffee flavor, try instant espresso powder.
Cool whip versus whipped cream. I really don't recommend using whipped cream in this recipe. The texture will change, and the longer it sits in the refrigerator, the more it will break down.
Overmix. Don't overmix after adding the cool whip to avoid the mixture breaking down and not chilling right. Mix just until creamy and smooth.
Freezing. This recipe is a no-bake icebox pie recipe. However, it can be frozen and served frozen. Let it set out for about 30 minutes before slicing to serve.
