Recipe & image taken from http://www.cheekykitchen.com

2 cups brown sugar
2 cups mini chocolate chips, melted until smooth
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons Mexican vanilla (or pure vanilla extract)
2 tablespoons instant coffee or cappuccino drink mix
2/3 cups evaporated milk
3 eggs
1/4 cup flour
pinch of salt
1 deep dish pie crust (or 4 premade pie crusts pressed into 12 mini tart pans)

For the whipped cream:
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place the brown sugar, melted chocolate chips, butter, vanilla, instant coffee, evaporated milk, eggs, flour, and the pinch of salt into a blender. Blend until smooth, then pour into a deep dish pie crust or 12 mini tart pans.

Transfer to oven and immediately turn the oven down to 325 degrees. Cook mini tart pies for 18-24 minutes, or until the center of each pie is set, bake deep dish pie for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set.

In a stand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar to the cream then beat until stiff. Top cooled pie with whipping cream.
