Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Evaporated milk
  • 4 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 Squares Bakers chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 cup Coffee ice cream, slightly
  • 1 (6-oz) package Chocolate flavored ready pie crust
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon Coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
  • 1/4 cup Pecans, coarsely chopped
Directions
  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    In a small saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, butter, baker's chocolate, and sugar.
  3. 3
    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture thickens to the consistency of cooked pudding.
  4. 4
    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  5. 5
    Soften the coffee ice cream slightly so it is spreadable, then spoon it into the pie crust and spread into an even layer.
  6. 6
    Spread the cooled chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the layer of ice cream.
  7. 7
    Place the pie in the freezer while you prepare the topping.
  8. 8
    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  9. 9
    With the mixer running on low speed, add the coffee liqueur and beat until completely mixed and stiff peaks form.
  10. 10
    Remove the pie from the freezer and spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
  11. 11
    Cover the pie with the plastic lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  12. 12
    About 15 minutes before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and sprinkle the top evenly with chopped pecans.
  13. 13
    Transfer the pie to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing and serving.
