Indulgent Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie Recipe

This dessert features a flaky pie crust filled with a smooth chocolate custard and topped with whipped coconut cream. The recipe takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes from start to finish and serves 8 people.

Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut toasted, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Bake the pre-made pie crust according to package instructions until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
Make the Chocolate Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
Combine Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture to the yolks to temper them, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Finish the Filling: Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Garnish: Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut on top of the whipped cream before serving.
