Easy Mocha Cream Pie
Ingredients
- 2-3/4 cups chocolate bear-shaped crackers or chocolate wafer crumbs, crushed
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

- 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
