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)
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0.
- 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 325u0b0 for 22 minutes (brownie will be fudgy when tested with a wooden pick). Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- 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.
- 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.
- Note: Nonalcoholic Mocha 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 instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon water.
- Note: Store remaining brownie mix in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag in refrigerator; use mix to make another pie or a small pan of brownies. To make brownies, combine about 2 cups mix, 1/4 cup water, and 1 lightly beaten egg white in a bowl. Stir just until combined. Spread in an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350u0b0 for 23 to 25 minutes.
