An easy start on Monday.
No obstacle for Tuesday.

Cold Brew Coffee Pie

 
Prep time: 

Serves: 8
This frozen, no-bake Cold Brew Coffee Pie is PHENOMENAL. Creamy, smooth and packed with coffee flavor, it's perfect for a hot day and for any coffee fanatic!

Ingredients
1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
¾ cup cold brew coffee (sweetened or unsweetened will work)
½ cup milk or cream
1 Tbsp pure coffee extract (or less if you want a less strong coffee flavor)
1 8 oz tub Cool Whip, thawed
1 prepared Oreo cookie crust
Whipped cream, for garnish
Dark chocolate-covered espresso beans, for garnish

Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding dry mix, the cold brew coffee, the milk and the coffee extract. Whisk until combined and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Fold in the Cool Whip completely, making sure to get the bottom!
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth out the top. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Just before serving, pipe on whipped cream and garnish with dark chocolate-covered espresso beans. Cut into wedges and serve!

Monday's Manna
Gregory Fleck
    For every 'No' that the Lord says to you , He is saying 'Yes' to something else, and to something better! For every door He allows to be shut, He has already opened another one, and a better one! There is another side to every no!


Have a lovely new week!

Until Next Time

  1. Wow! So much wonderful goodness packed into this post today! Loved the thoughts for each day...and that pie Sylvia shared does look good, even if I don't like coffee! Gregory Fleck's quote about doors shutting and opening is a great one...I need to attach that to my blog, "Closed Doors, Open Windows". I hope your Monday is superbly blessed...and that it carries over to every day of the week!!

  5. Toni and Mary, please let me know if and when you make it, how you like it. I can't eat it either since I am on a sugar free, low carb diet. I would love to make it when I lose all this weight that is weighting me down.
    Mary, I love your Monday morning chat's!

  10. The Cold brew coffee pie looks so delicious but I think I better not make it. Too tempting and I'm really thinking I need to lose a few pounds. As I get older my weight slowly but surely shifts down to my tummy!
    Have a good week!!
