No-Bake Chocolate Kahlua Pie Recipe

Because you don't always want to bake in the summer. [Photograph: Yvonne Ruperti]
Notes: I used Nabisco Famous Wafers for the wafers. If you'd like to measure by crumbs, I used about 8 ounces for the crust and about 3 ounces for the pie. For the coffee liquor, I used Kahlua. Chilling mixing bowl with beater will make it whip faster. Use a hot wet knife to slice the pie.
