Mocha Fudge Pie - to JeanneW and everyone else

[Natasha]

Hi JeanneW,
Could you (or anyone else) please post the recipe for the Mocha Fudge Pie you mentioned? I don't have any issues as far back as 1994, and this sounds scrumptious. Thanks so much!

Hi Natasha,

I'm at work right now and don't have it with me, but I'll post it when I get home. You'll love it! Jeanne

natasha, here's the recipe--i happen to have it at work. i agree w/ jeannew--you'll love it!


Mocha Fudge Pie


1/3 cup hot water
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules, divided
1/2 (20.5-ounce) box light fudge brownie mix (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
2 large egg whites
Cooking spray
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
3 tablespoons Kahlua or other coffee-flavored
liqueur, divided
1 (3.9-ounce) package chocolate-flavored instant pudding mix or 1 (1.4-ounce) package sugar-free chocolate-flavored instant pudding mix
3 cups frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping,thawed and divided
Chocolate curls (optional)

1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2.Combine hot water and 2 teaspoons coffee granules in a bowl; stir well. Add 2 cups brownie mix, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and egg whites; stir until well-blended. Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325 degrees for 22 minutes (brownie will be fudgy when tested with a
wooden pick). Let cool completely on a wire rack.
3.Combine milk, 2 tablespoons Kahlua, 1 teaspoon coffee granules, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and pudding mix in a bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer 30 seconds. Gently fold in 1-1/2 cups whipped topping. Spoon pudding mixture into brownie crust; spread evenly.
4.Combine 1 tablespoon Kahlua and 1 teaspoon coffee granules in a bowl; stir well. Gently fold in 1-1/2 cups whipped topping. Spread whipped topping mixture evenly over pudding mixture. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Serve immediately or store loosely
covered in refrigerator. Yield: 8 servings.
5.Nonalcoholic Version: When making the pudding mixture, substitute 2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk for the Kahlua. In the topping, omit the Kahlua, and dissolve the coffee granules in 1 tablespoon water.

Note: Store remaining 2 cups brownie mix in a zip-top plastic bag in refrigerator. Reserved brownie mix can be used for another pie or to make a small pan of brownies.

To make brownies, combine 2 cups brownie mix, 1/4 cup water, and 1 lightly beaten large egg white in a bowl. Stir just until combined. Spread into an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 23 to 25 minutes.

Thank you both so much for your quick responses! After the accolades you've given this pie, you can bet that it's at the top of my list. This weekend, maybe?
Have a wonderful day...

This sounds wonderful!!! Can you use skim milk in place of 1%. Will it ruin it if you do? I would love to try this but usually only buy skim milk.
