Kahlúa Mocha Pudding Pie with Oreo Armor

This Kahlúa Mocha Pudding Pie is a boozy, coffee-charged beast that’ll own the spotlight

Ingredients

For the Oreo Crust:

• 24 Oreo cookies (crushed to oblivion, keep the creamy guts)

• 5 tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter, melted (no shortcuts, real butter only)

For the Kahlúa Mocha Beast Filling:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar (sweet but savage)

• 1/4 cup cornstarch (for a filling that doesn’t mess around)

• 1/4 teaspoon salt (because flavor needs discipline)

• 2 cups whole milk (full-fat, like a proper punch)

• 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled (dark roast or espresso, none of that weak drip)

• 4 large egg yolks (the core of the beast)

• 6 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa, chopped with authority)

• 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules or espresso powder (for mocha muscle)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (to seal the deal)

• 2 tablespoons Kahlúa (coffee liqueur for that boozy backbone)

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (to round out the flavor like a champ)

For the Kahlúa-Spiked Badass Whipped Top:

• 1 cup heavy cream (whip it like you’re taming a beast)

• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (just enough to keep it real)

• 1 tablespoon Kahlúa (for that boozy swagger)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (to keep it smooth)

Battle Plan

1. Forge the Oreo Crust:

• Smash 24 Oreos into fine rubble with a food processor or a ziplock bag and sheer rage (or a rolling pin if you’re feeling tame).

• Mix the Oreo grit with 6 tablespoons melted butter until it’s dark and sticky like tar.

• Slam the mix into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it hard to form a crust that laughs at weakness. No baking—chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set like steel.

2. Unleash the Kahlúa Mocha Beast Filling:

• In a heavy-duty saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt like you’re gearing up for a brawl.

• Whisk in milk, brewed coffee, and egg yolks until it’s smoother than a knockout blow.

• Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until it thickens and bubbles like molten lava (5-7 minutes, don’t back down).

• Pull it off the heat and stir in dark chocolate, instant coffee granules (or espresso powder), butter, Kahlúa, and vanilla. Keep stirring until it’s a glossy, boozy mocha beast.

• Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo armor, smooth it like you’re flattening a rival, and cover with plastic wrap (press it down to choke out air). Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set like a concrete fortress.

3. Crown It with Kahlúa-Spiked Badass Whipped Cream:

• In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, Kahlúa, and vanilla with a mixer or whisk until it’s got peaks tougher than a biker’s hide.

• Slather or pipe it onto the chilled pie like you’re claiming victory.

4. Serve Like a Warlord:

• Slice it with a blade sharp enough to cut through excuses. Serve cold, garnished with crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, or a few coffee beans for that extra flex.

• Store leftovers (if any survive) in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days—real men don’t let pie go to waste.

Manly Notes:

• Kahlúa Power: The 2 tablespoons in the filling and 1 tablespoon in the whipped cream give it a bold, coffee-liquor kick without turning it into a cocktail. Want it stronger? Add another tablespoon to the filling, but don’t overdo it—keep it pie, not pudding shots.

• Alcohol in the Topping: Kahlúa in the whipped cream adds a smooth, boozy edge that complements the mocha vibe. You could swap it for Bailey’s Irish Cream for a creamier twist or a splash of bourbon for a smokier, ballsier finish—just keep it to 1 tablespoon to avoid overpowering the whip.

• Coffee Muscle: The brewed coffee and instant granules (or espresso powder) keep the mocha flavor jacked. Use a dark roast or espresso for maximum impact.

• Chocolate Choice: 60-70% dark chocolate keeps it rich and unapologetic. Anything less is for softies.

• No-Bake Crust: The no-bake Oreo armor is quick, gritty, and holds up like a champ. If you want it baked for extra crunch, hit it at 350°F for 8-10 minutes and cool completely.

• Garnish Like a Boss: Sprinkle smoked sea salt, crushed coffee beans, or even a drizzle of Kahlúa on top for a presentation that screams “try me.”
