Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup Kahlua
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
- Take the pre-made pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If it’s frozen, allow it to thaw according to the package instructions.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Kahlua, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture together until it is smooth and well combined.
- Once the filling is well mixed, gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the Kahlua and chocolate chip filling into the prepared pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are slightly puffed. The center may still jiggle slightly, but it will firm up as it cools.
- After baking, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Then, refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to fully set.
- Once chilled, slice the pie into 8 equal servings. For an extra touch, you can top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, if desired.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Kahlua Black Russian Pie!
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, well-incorporated filling.
- Don't overmix the filling – gentle folding helps maintain the pie's delicate texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor impact.
- If the pie's edges start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- For the cleanest slices, use a knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between each cut.
- Chill the pie thoroughly – this helps the filling set perfectly and enhances the flavor.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider making homemade whipped cream as a topping.
- The pie can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for dinner parties or special occasions.
