Coffee Chocolate Ice Cream Pie

Here's a really easy Ice Cream Pie to celebrate Coffee Ice Cream Day! This recipe is adapted from an old recipe in Bon Appetit. You can actually use any ice cream, but since it's National Coffee Ice Cream Day, why not use coffee ice cream?

8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
1/2 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla extract
1 pint coffee ice cream, softened
