Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (crushed) Chocolate graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 ounces (chopped) Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 3 large (pasteurized) Eggs
- 1.25 cups (divided) Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup (toasted) Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup (toasted and roughly chopped) Almonds
- 2 ounces (melted for drizzling) Milk chocolate
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate graham crackers, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool completely.
Melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, coconut milk, and cocoa powder to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
Add the pasteurized eggs one at a time, beating for 5 minutes after each egg to create a silky texture. The mixture should become light and fluffy. Set the filling aside.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate filling until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
When ready to serve, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form, and spread it lightly over the top of the pie.
Sprinkle the pie with toasted shredded coconut and chopped almonds.
Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the top for a finishing touch.
Slice and serve chilled.
