Mocha Pie Bites & a promise

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please visit my disclosure page.

I Lisa, do hereby promise….. no more bite sized foods, at least not until Chinese New Year’s.  You know you want some dairy-free crab rangoons, am I right?  Oh wait, we are here to talk about mocha pie bites…..

As much as I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, I cannot pass up the combination of chocolate and espresso.  It’s hard to believe that I used to drink a grande mocha every morning…..for 5 or 6 years!  The caffeine started messing with my stomach, and now I only indulge on rare occasions.  These mini pies are my latest occasion.

You will need to adjust the amount of espresso that you add based on your love or should I say, tolerance of espresso.  I added 2 teaspoons, and they have an intense flavor, awesome, but strong.

Deep breath…..and I am done with mini foods for a while.  It is time to go battle with some pie crust and make a lobster pot pie for dinner.  At least the dessert is already done 🙂

Serves	7
Prep time	15 minutes
Meal type	Dessert

Cute little mocha pies with a crispy fillo shell.

Ingredients

• 1 Individual chocolate pudding cup (I used almond milk pudding cups, 5.8oz each)
• 1 - 2 Teaspoons espresso (cooled)
• 1 can whipped cream (the spray kind, I used rice whip)
• 1 Package Athens mini fillo shells
• chocolate sprinkles

Directions

Pour pudding cup into a small bowl.

Add espresso. 1 teaspoon for a lighter flavor, 2 teaspoons for stronger flavor. Stir to combine.

Fill shells with 1 teaspoon of chocolate mixture.

Top with whipped cream.

Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or sprinkles.

Note

To fill shells completely, double the recipe.

If you do not have an espresso machine, you can use double strength coffee, or you can go to a coffee shop and buy a shot of espresso.

Do not use espresso powder, it will not dissolve!
