Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Pre-made pie crust
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Shaved dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and crimp them if desired.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth and uniform.
Stir in the shredded sweetened coconut and chopped pecans.
Pour the chocolate-coconut-pecan filling into the prepared pie crust. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1-2 hours. This will allow the filling to set completely.
While the pie cools, make the whipped cream topping. Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Slice the cooled pie and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. If desired, garnish with shaved dark chocolate for an extra decorative touch.
