Very rich, so I only serve this at parties, but it is a show stopper. It only takes minutes to prepare but your guests will be talking about it for weeks.
Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total chill time: 4 hours
Serves 8
Ingredients
Crust
Filling
Directions
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.
Pour the melted butter into the mixture and toss until all the butter has been evenly absorbed.
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.
In a small bowl, combine mix and coffee powder. Add milk and beat at high speed for one minute.
Blend in water and whiskey at high speed for two minutes and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip cream until it forms stiff peaks (about 3 minutes or so) and then fold into filling mixture.
Pour into cooled pie shell and chill in refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
Top with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
