OK, I have to ask. Why are you putting espresso in a cafe au lait pie? Cafe au lait means coffee with cream.
Or is it a matter of coffee not being strong enough for the pie?
Hi Gretchen, I'll have to let PJ answer for herself on this one, I don't drink coffee or espresso! We'll get back to you. ~ MaryJane Hi Gretchen - the espresso topping looks like café au lait - creamy, tan. The meringue topping lends mild coffee flavor, like café au lait, not strong/bitter flavor.
