Wow, I haven't ever made this recipe, but Mom has and I loved it. Here
is every word from the 2 three-by-five cards she typed on the
subject. Can you still get piecrust mix? I've never looked for it.
Blum's, one of California's oldest confectioners, has been a part of
the San Francisco scene since 1890, when Simon Blum sent his carriages
lumbering up the steep, cobblestoned streets to make delieveries at
the mansions on Nob Hill. San Franciscans have long been devoted to
Blum's melting pastries, tortes, and napoleons. Here is Blum's
luscious Coffee-Toffee Pie.
Blum's Coffee-Toffee Pie
Pastry shell:
1/2 package (10-oz. size) piecrust mix
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 square unsweetened chocolate, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling:
1/2 cup soft butter or margarine
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 square unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons instant coffee
2 eggs

2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons instant coffee
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
Chocolate curls
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Make Pastry Shell: In medium bowl, combine piecrust mix with brown
sugar, walnuts, and grated chocolate. Add 1 tablespoon water and the

well-greased pie plate; press firmly against bottom and side of pie
plate. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

mixer at medium speed, beat butter until creamy.
4. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until light. Blend in
melted chocolate and 2 teaspoons instant coffee.
5. Add 1 egg; beat 5 minutes. Add remaining egg; beat 5 minutes
longer.
6. Turn filling into pie shell. Refrigerate covered, overnight.
7. Next day, make Coffee-Topping: In large bowl, combine cream with 2
tablespoons instant coffee and the confectioner's sugar. Refrigerate,
covered, 1 hour.
8. With portable electric mixer, beat cream mixture until
stiff. Decorate pie with topping using pastry bag with number-6
decorating tip, if desired. Garnish with chocolate curls. Refrigerate
at least 2 hours. Makes 8 servings.
