Chocolate Pecan Pie
"Although I have the coffee granules as optional I would suggest to add they really increase the flavor of the pie. Plan ahead the pie needs to cool at and to room temperature before topping with the whipped cream which may take several hours, I suggest to make this pie in the morning to serve for dinner it is best when served at room temperature, you may refrigerate any leftovers. Prep time does not include making the pie pastry"
