Are you ready to tickle your taste buds with a pie that’s as delightful as a surprise visit from a childhood friend? Introducing the Mocha Walnut Pie, a treat that combines the richness of coffee and the crunch of walnuts into a dessert that will have you doing a happy dance in the kitchen! Let’s dive into the deliciousness!
Mocha Walnut Pie
This pie is the perfect mix of flavors and textures. Just imagine a flaky crust cradling a luscious mocha filling, topped with a generous sprinkle of crunchy walnuts. It’s the kind of dessert that can make any gathering feel like a party!
Ingredients
Gather these ingredients to create your masterpiece:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because life’s too short to make your own, right?)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (because chocolate is the answer to everything)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (you can pretend they’re tiny brains, but they’re not)
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (for that kick of caffeine)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (because we like it vanilla-flavored)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (to sprinkle in the party)
- Whipped cream for topping (optional, but highly recommended!)
Instructions
Now, let’s make magic happen!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s 175°C for our metric friends, but who’s counting?).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and vanilla extract. Stir until it’s all magically combined into a chocolatey dream.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. This is the part where things get exciting, folks!
- Pour this delicious mixture into your pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly. Give it a little shake to settle everything nicely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and your kitchen smells like a chocolatey heaven.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a bit. Then chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour if you can resist the temptation!
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top, because everything’s better with whipped cream!
Now, slice yourself a piece, sit back, and enjoy the show as your friends and family have their taste buds delighted! This is the kind of pie that brings everyone together—except for the person who eats the last slice. They’ll need to be watched closely!
