Allow the pie to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.

If you do not have espresso powder, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of finely ground strong coffee.

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Kahlua and add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla extract to the ice cream layers.
