It&#8217;s good, not healthy.)<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp vanilla extract&#8230;the real stuff, don&#8217;t cheap out \u00a0now. The Mexican vanilla extract is really good in this recipe, but regular vanilla extract works great.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bake pie shells. Combine all dry ingredients in large saucepan and stir till mixed. In a seperate bowl, combine evaporated milk, milk, egg yolks and coffee. Mix with a whisk until well combined. Add liquid to dry ingredients in sauce pan and whisk until well mixed.<\/p>\n<p>Cook over medium heat while stirring <em>constantly<\/em> until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and cook and stir until thickened (about a minute).<\/p>\n<p>Remove from heat and add butter and stir until melted and blended in the filling. Finally, stir in the vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>Pour into pie shells and let cool at room temp for one hour on a wire rack then chill in the refrigerator covered loosely with foil until completely chilled. May top with whipped cream if desired or bake up a meringue on top. Me? I just eat it like it is!<\/p>\n<p>Bonus: There is always a bit more than can fit in the two shells. \u00a0Put it in a bowl and eat it. Try not to think about all the calories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am posting this as a favor to someone who asked for the recipe. \u00a0I am not responsible for any pounds gained from consumption of this awesome pie.
