directions

Step 1

Use an 8″ fluted tart pan with a removable bottom for this crust. Break up the wafers and crush them in a food processor until they are the consistency of coarse flour. Add the ground nuts and pulse until they are well blended.

Step 2

Pour the melted butter into the mixture and toss until all the butter has been evenly absorbed.

Step 3

Press the mixture into the tart pan, pressing it firmly up the sides so that it will hold its shape when you remove the tart pan.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine mix and coffee powder. Add milk and beat at high speed for one minute.

Step 5

Blend in water and whiskey at high speed for two minutes and set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip cream until it forms stiff peaks (about 3 minutes or so) and then fold into filling mixture.

Step 7

Pour into cooled pie shell and chill in refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

Step 8

Top with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
