“I heard a quote that says, “Motherhood. Powered by love. Fueled by coffee. Sustained by wine.” Like any sleep deprived, hungry human, I thought what if I combined my two favorite things. Who says you can’t have wine with your coffee? I know. I know. You don’t care what this top part says. No one reads the stories. You are here for the recipe so let’s get to it.”

Crust Ingredients:

• Chocolate Premade Crust OR…
• 1 package Nabisco Chocolate Wafers (I just used whole thin Oreos.  I think crushed Oreos would work better)
• 5 Tab butter melted

Filling Ingredients:

• 3.4 ounce package  Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (Be sure to get the instant, not the cook and serve style)
• 3/4 c strong cold coffee (author used Outsider because “I’m no amateur and it makes a dang good cup of joe” and it is the sponsor of the blog)
• 1 tsp instant espresso
• 1 c cold heavy cream divided
• *Optional: Whipped Cream and Chocolate Syrup  (Not really optional!)

Crust Instructions:

1. Pour yourself a glass of wine because you deserve it.
2. Crush the wafers in a food processor or with a rolling pin. Make sure to get them nice and fine.
3. Toss with the melted butter until well blended.
4. Press into a 9 inch regular pie shell (not a deep dish.) (I doubled it and used a 9×13 – not critical demensions – more about volume)
5. Refrigerate.
   If you went with my cheat step, open that pre-made crust and boom! You are ready for the next step.

Filling Instructions:

1. Whip 1/2 cup of the cream and set aside.
2. Blend the instant espresso into the remaining half cup of cream.
3. Stir until the pieces are completely dissolved.  It may have to sit a few minutes.
4. Whisk the pudding mix with the cold brew (or use your cold pour over (left 0ver) coffee) and the coffee infused cream.
5. Mix 2 minutes to allow it to thicken.
6. Fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
7. Pour into the crust and smooth out the top.
8. Refrigerate at least 3-4 hours before serving.
9. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
   Pro Tip: Taste great with a glass of Madre Cabernet

Serves: 8

About the name – Outsider is a brand of coffee.  Pour over is a fancy-smancy coffee made in a carafe with fresh ground coffee (course ground of course, please), only the best, purist water, and a paper filter folded “just so”.  Strong black everyday coffee works too.

Note:  I thought it was t00 s0ft to serve as a pie.  Mayve a little less coffee in the pudding??)
