Directions
-
Allow the chocolate pie crust to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle; keep the plastic lid for later use.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, butter, baker's chocolate, and sugar.
-
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture thickens to the consistency of cooked pudding.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool completely to room temperature.
-
Soften the coffee ice cream slightly so it is spreadable, then spoon it into the pie crust and spread into an even layer.
-
Spread the cooled chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the layer of ice cream.
-
Place the pie in the freezer while you prepare the topping.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
-
With the mixer running on low speed, add the coffee liqueur and beat until completely mixed and stiff peaks form.
-
Remove the pie from the freezer and spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
-
Cover the pie with the plastic lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
-
About 15 minutes before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and sprinkle the top evenly with chopped pecans.
-
Transfer the pie to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing and serving.
