A luscious pie made with chocolate, coffee and graham crackers. The pie itself doesn't take long to make, but keep in mind it will need to be refrigerated for 4 hours before serving.
Ingredients
  • 8 whole graham crackers, finely crushed (about 1¼ cups)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • ¾ cup cold strong coffee
  • 1 square dark chocolate
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 egg whites
  • about 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix together crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter to combine. Press firmly onto bottom and sides of 9-inch pie plate. Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly browned, then set aside to cool.
  2. Soften gelatin in the cold coffee. Melt chocolate over hot water. Add gelatin-coffee mixture, ¼ cup sugar, and salt. Cook over hot water for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Beat egg yolks. Add ¼ cup of the chocolate mixture to the egg yolks and whisk vigorously. Pour into the rest of the chocolate mixture and continue to whisk. Cook 2 more minutes over hot water, then remove from heat. Allow chocolate mixture to cool; it must be cooled COMPLETELY. While the chocolate is cooling, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating after each addition.
  3. When the chocolate mixture is done cooling, stir in vanilla. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture until blended. Pour into pastry shell. Cover with whipped cream, and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
