this is a great recipe, but I did add 1/3 cup powdered sugar to the crust as others suggested. I also added about 1 tsp of cinnamon to the filling cause that's how I like my latte! I did dissolve the coffee in about 2 Tbs of coffee liquor. I like my coffee! I made mine in a springform pan and it made serving extra simple. Also made a beautiful presentation, with a little drizzle of chocolate syrup on the plate and a dollop of whipped cream on top. Everyone was impressed with the looks and even more impressed with the taste.

read other reviews and used a lot of their ideas. Had some lemon yogurt and added that to help with the dryness-worked great! Also did the thumbprint thing but filled with fig/strawberry preserves and oh boy were they great. Also filled thumbprint with the lemon curd for an afternoon tea I hosted. Everyone asked for the recipe. thanks

My kids are cake people not pie people, so here is what I did (I tried it once as written and I loved it myself)-baked a yellow cake in a springform pan, and then did pretty much everything else the same except after freezing overnight, I removed it from the pan and covered with chocolate ganache and returned to freezer. To die for. I agree that you need to keep it in the freezer longer than 15 or 20 minutes between layers, more like 30-45 minutes or longer if you have the time.
