How to Make Vienna Chocolate Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare one 9-inch pie crust according to package directions, using a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Gradually beat in the sugar mixture from step 3 until well combined.
  6. Beat in 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup slivered almonds evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is deep golden brown. After 15-20 minutes of baking, loosely cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil strips to prevent over-browning.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
