    List of Ingredients




    Base:
    3 packages cream cheese (Do not use low fat cream cheese)
    3 large eggs
    3 teaspoons vanilla (use good quality bourbon vanilla)
    2 teaspoons very strong espresso
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup sugar
    pre-made graham cracker crust. Extra serving size.

    Topping:
    1 pound container sour cream
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    4 teaspoons espresso

    Recipe



    Base: Microwave cream cheese until soft (about 1 minute). Mix all ingredients until smooth and pour into graham cracker crust. Fill to 3/4 full. Place in 300 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours. The pie will rise evenly above the edge of the crust when done, but when it cools it will fall back down leaving room for the topping. Cool for several hours in refrigerator until base is cold. This has to be done so the sour cream topping won't melt when put on. You can dust the top of the base with cinnamon if desired. Topping: These ingredients should be cold. Mix ingredients together. Pour over cold base and smooth out evenly. Decorate top by pouring espresso in thin lines across topping and then drag a fork across lines at right angle. Do this several times in different directions for desired effect. Put under broiler to glaze topping. It will take on a slightly dull look and little bubbles will form when done. This should take only a few minutes. Cool pie overnight if you can wait that long. If not, cool for at least 1 hour. Grate sweet chocolate over piece and enjoy.
