100% Kona Coffee single-serving Cups Cream Pie Directions:
-
Whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in milk and 2 Kona coffee k cups, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
-
Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in milk mixture in a slow, steady stream until completely incorporated. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Strain through a fine sieve into a large bowl, and stir in coffee liqueur and vanilla. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each piece melts before adding the next one. Let custard cool, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
-
Pour custard into baked and cooled crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until filling is firm, 4 hours (or wrapped tightly with plastic, up to 1 day).
-
With the flat side of a chef’s knife, crush dark chocolate-covered Kona coffee beans, 1 at a time. Reserve 1 tablespoon large pieces for garnish.
-
In a chilled bowl, beat cream, confectioners’ sugar, and remaining 1 Kona coffee K-cup until stiff peaks form. Fold small Kona-bean pieces into whipped cream mixture, and spread over pie. Sprinkle with reserved Kona-bean pieces or chocolate curls, and serve immediately.
