I'm a big coffee drinker and love the iced and frozen versions, too. This pie was my way of incorporating those flavors into a dessert.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

1 tablespoon hot water

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups whipped topping

1 chocolate graham cracker crust (9 inches)

pudding layer:

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

1 cup 2% milk

1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix

1-1/2 cups whipped topping

kahlua cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

1 tablespoon kahlua (coffee liqueur)

chocolate curls, optional

Directions:

1. Dissolve coffee granules in hot water. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla and coffee mixture. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into crust.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve coffee granules in milk. In a large bowl, combine milk mixture and pudding mix. Beat on high speed until pudding is thick. Fold in whipped topping. Spread carefully over cream cheese layer.
3. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and Kahlua; beat until soft peaks form. Spread over pudding layer. Top with chocolate curls if desired. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Yield: 8 servings.
