Description

This No-Bake Mocha Cream Pie combines the rich flavors of chocolate and espresso in a smooth, creamy filling nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. Topped with luscious espresso whipped cream and garnished with chocolate shavings, this dessert is perfect for coffee and chocolate lovers seeking an effortless yet indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust

Mocha 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 Topping

  • 1½ cups heavy cream, whipped (divided)
  • 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 the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the dissolved instant coffee or espresso powder until evenly mixed.
  2. Fold in cream: Gently fold in 1 cup of the whipped heavy cream into the mocha mixture, being careful to keep it light and fluffy while achieving a mocha-colored filling.
  3. Fill crust: Spread the mocha cream filling evenly into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
  4. Top with cream: Using the remaining ½ cup whipped cream, spread or pipe it decoratively over the mocha filling for a beautiful espresso whipped topping.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set firmly before serving.
  6. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate-espresso flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Dissolving the coffee powder in hot water helps distribute the espresso flavor evenly.
  • For best results, use freshly whipped heavy cream for a light, airy topping.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead, making it convenient for entertaining.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
