Preparation
Graham Cracker Crust
Step 1
Mix graham cracker crumbs and remaining ingredients in a small bowl to blend. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of pie dish; chill until crust is firm, about 30 minutes.
Coffee Ganache
Step 2
Place chocolate and butter in a large bowl. Bring cream, coffee, and 2 Tbsp. water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Strain cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into bowl with chocolate and butter; discard coffee grounds. Stir until melted and ganache is smooth. Pour into chilled crust; smooth top. Chill until set, about 1 hour.
Meringue
Step 4
Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters on medium speed, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until light and frothy. Add sugar in 4 additions, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Continue beating egg whites until stiff and glossy.
Step 5
Spoon meringue over coffee ganache; swirl decoratively with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Using a kitchen torch, if desired, toast meringue until golden brown in spots.
Do Ahead: Pie can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.

Back to TopNeeded two more egg whites to get that height on the merengue. The chocolate flavor was overpowering, I thought it missed the balance of flavors, barely got any coffee or graham notes. I’m not sure how to improve this for next time.
