Mocha Cream Pie

Move over chocolate cream pie! Coffee's got yous all jazzed upward together with turned yous into ridiculously delicious Mocha Cream Pie ... amongst a java together with chocolate custard filling, within an Oreo crumb crust, all topped amongst java whipped cream. It'll brand you boot manifestly chocolate cream pie to the curb, too.

Perhaps I should bring used decaf to brand this pie. Allow me to explicate ...

I don't drinkable coffee. Not a drop.

In fact, I drinkable rattling picayune caffeine at all. In whatever form.

Not because I don't similar caffeine. But because caffeine doesn't similar me. Caffeine affects me a lot. Like, if I drinkable a Diet Coke around 10:00 inwards the morning, I'll bring a difficult fourth dimension falling asleep at 10:00 that night! For real. And I am bouncing off the walls. My hubby tin say inwards an instant if I've been drinking anything amongst caffeine ... fifty-fifty if it's hours later. Oh, delight say me I'm non the solely 1 who can't grip my caffeine!

So when I ate the entire slice of this pie at the halt of the pie's photograph shoot, it was not a proficient choice.

But there's to a greater extent than explanation required equally to why ...

... together with that has to produce amongst the idiosyncrasies of nutrient photography.

See, somehow ... together with I don't claim to bring any agreement what-so-ever of how ... infinite and size seem to get, well, quite distorted when photographing food. To 'look right,' things to a greater extent than oftentimes than non ask to live actually unopen together ... together with plates ask to live really total ... together with bowls of materials ask to live super heaped up.

And pieces of pie ask to live big.

So that slice of pie yous run across on the plate inwards these photos is a really big slice of pie.

That I ate.

At almost 2:00 inwards the afternoon.

Fortunately this pie's coffee-and-chocolate custard filling ... within an Oreo crumb crust ... topped off amongst java whipped cream ... is together with then ridiculously proficient it's worth a black of express sleep.

But adjacent fourth dimension ... together with ooohhhhhhh, in that place will live a adjacent time, ... I intend I'll purpose decaf.
