Alabama Chocolate-pecan Jumbo Christmas Fudge Pie

Combine chocolate wafer crumbs and one third cup melted butter; firmly press on bottom and sides of a 23 cm tart pan or pie plate. Bake at 180ºC for 6 to 8 minutes. Cream half cup softened butter; gradually add brown sugar with the electric mixer at medium speed until blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the melted chocolate, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, flour and chopped pecans. Pour into the prepared crust. Bake at 190ºC for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack.

Before serving, pipe sweetened whipped cream on each piece and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Garnish with cherries and/or mint if desired.
