What You’ll Need

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make No-Bake Coffee Pie

Let’s Make It Together:

In a bowl, mix the Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating that light and airy texture we all love.
In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth—it should be a silky, fragrant mixture.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the espresso mixture until well incorporated. This is where your filling becomes wonderfully creamy!
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly, letting the crust do its delicious job.
Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm—trust me, the wait will be worth it!
Serve chilled, slice, and enjoy every luscious bite!

Delicious Variations to Try

Mocha Delight: Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for a rich, indulgent twist that chocolate lovers will adore.
Nutty Overload: Fold in some chopped walnuts or hazelnuts for a delightful crunch that complements the creamy filling beautifully.
Minty Fresh: Stir in a few drops of mint extract into the filling for a refreshing peppermint flavor, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Decadent Toppings: Drizzle your pie with caramel sauce or sprinkle shaved chocolate on top for an elegant finishing touch.
