Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"><li class="equipment-single-item">23cm (9-inch) springform pan or pie dish</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Food processor</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Electric mixer or stand mixer</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Heatproof bowl</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Fine mesh sieve (for dusting cocoa powder)</li></ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Begin by making the chocolate crust. Pulse the chocolate biscuits in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. The finer the crumbs, the more cohesive your crust will be.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and pour in the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the base and slightly up the sides of your springform pan or pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even, compact layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>For the mocha filling, dissolve the espresso powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water, stir well, and allow to cool completely. The coffee flavor is the heart of this mocha pie, so make sure it's potent.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone and cream cheese together until smooth and free of lumps. Add the caster sugar and beat until fully incorporated and the mixture lightens slightly. Then mix in the cooled coffee solution and vanilla extract until evenly combined.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip as the cream can quickly become grainy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee-cheese mixture using a large spatula, maintaining as much air as possible for a light, mousse-like texture.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Retrieve your chilled crust and spread the mocha filling evenly over it. Smooth the top with an offset spatula. Return to the refrigerator while you prepare the ganache layer.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>For the chocolate ganache, place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer (small bubbles appear around the edge)—do not allow it to boil. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes undisturbed. This allows the chocolate to melt evenly without risk of seizing.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>After 2 minutes, gently stir the mixture with a spatula until the chocolate has completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes, until it's still pourable but not hot enough to melt the filling.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Remove the pie from the refrigerator and carefully pour the ganache over the filling, spreading it to the edges with a spatula. The layer should be thin but even. Return the pie to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>For the final topping, dissolve the teaspoon of espresso powder in a tablespoon of hot water and allow to cool. In a clean bowl, whip the double cream with the icing sugar until it begins to thicken, then add the cooled coffee solution and continue whipping until soft peaks form.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 11</h4>Spread or pipe the coffee-flavored whipped cream over the set ganache layer. For an elegant presentation, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to create decorative swirls around the edge or across the entire surface.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 12</h4>Dust the top lightly with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. If desired, arrange chocolate-covered coffee beans decoratively on top. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to ensure all layers are properly set.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 13</h4>When ready to serve, carefully remove the pie from the springform pan if using. For the cleanest slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe dry, and slice. Clean and reheat the knife between each cut. Your Mocha Cream Pie will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, though the crust may soften slightly over time.</li></ol>

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about this delicious recipe right here.

What ingredients are used in Mocha Cream Pie?

This decadent no-bake dessert uses chocolate digestive biscuits, butter, mascarpone, cream cheese, double cream, caster sugar, instant espresso powder, vanilla extract, dark chocolate, icing sugar, and optional cocoa powder and chocolate-covered coffee beans for garnish.

How to cook Mocha Cream Pie at home?

Learn how to cook Mocha Cream Pie by creating a no-bake chocolate biscuit crust, filling it with a silky coffee-infused cream cheese mixture, topping with dark chocolate ganache, and finishing with coffee-scented whipped cream. The dessert needs at least 4 hours of chilling time for all layers to set properly.

Can I make this no-bake coffee dessert ahead of time?

Yes, this dessert is perfect for preparing in advance! You can make it up to 2 days before serving and keep it refrigerated. In fact, allowing it to chill overnight yields the best texture and flavour development as the coffee notes meld beautifully with the creamy filling.

What's the secret to a perfectly smooth coffee cream filling?

The key is ensuring both your mascarpone and cream cheese are at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Also, dissolve the espresso powder completely in hot water and cool it before adding, and fold the whipped cream gently to maintain air and achieve that silky, mousse-like texture.

How do I achieve clean slices when serving a layered cream pie?

For perfect slices, ensure the pie is thoroughly chilled (at least 4 hours). Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between each cut. Apply gentle pressure and pull the knife through rather than pushing down, which can compress the layers.
