::sigh:: I was all excited for a chocolate pie! I have a recipe for chocolate pie that I make often, but I am always on the lookout for a new one to try... And then you added espresso to the crust... Okay, I could substitute ginger or cocoa or even one of my regular pie crusts... no problem... and then you had to add coffee and kahlua and more coffee. So now I'm off to sulk and plan to make MY chocolate pie this week to console myself. I detest coffee. I detest the smell, and the flavor of burnt that always accompanies it in any amount. It's my taste buds, I've had things where no one else could taste the coffee, but I could. And I can't take it. If I want to taste a horrible burnt taste, I'll go lick the fireplace grate. Heck, that would taste better to me. But I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next chocolate recipe. :D Heck, why not just make this one, leaving the espresso out of the crust and filling, and subbing another liqueur for the Kahlua? Bob's your uncle - non-coffee chocolate pie. Try it, you'll like it! :) PJH
