FROZEN COFFEE FUDGE PIE

Category: Pies - Frozen

Crust:
1 cup pkg chocolate cookie crumbs
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Cooking spray

Filling:
2 tsp instant coffee granules
1 tbsp boiling water
3/4 cup hot fudge topping, divided
4 cups coffee ice cream
9 chocolate-covered coffee beans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

To prepare crust, combine first 3 ingredients, and toss with a fork until moist. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Place crust in freezer.

To prepare filling, place a large bowl in freezer. Combine coffee granules and boiling water in a small bowl; stir until coffee dissolves. Add 3 tbsp fudge topping; stir well. Set aside.

Spoon ice cream into chilled bowl, and stir in fudge topping mixture. Spoon ice cream mixture into chilled crust; freeze 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze 4 hours or until set. Place pie in refrigerator 20 minutes before serving to soften. Serve pie with 9 tbsp fudge topping, and garnish with coffee beans, if desired.
