Go ahead and make this delicious dessert; you deserve it.
Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (may substitute 1:1 GF All Purpose Flour)
5 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
For the filling:
2 cups (12 ounces) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch tart pan (with removable bottom) with nonstick cooking spray. Place your tart pan on a cookie sheet to avoid spilling in your oven.
Stir flour, coconut, and salt. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and both extracts. Stir until combined. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Press to compact it firmly.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is no longer glossy. Cool completely before making the filling.
To make the filling, place the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl or measuring cup. Heat in the microwave about 2 minutes, or just until it starts to bubble slightly (but don’t let it come to a full boil). Add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 10–15 seconds, then whisk until smooth and the chocolate is all dissolved. Pour into crust.
Let it sit at room temperature until cool and set. You can make this up to two days ahead and store covered in the refrigerator, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
The best thing about this pie is that it’s really versatile.
You can add other items to it to kick it up a little bit. You could top the pie with a drizzle of peanut butter, coconut, marshmallow, and even more chocolate.
It’s made from affordable ingredients that you can buy at almost any store, and you may even have most of them in your pantry at home. It also doesn’t take too long to make. That means if you get some surprise guests and need to cook up a treat in a hurry, you can whip this right up.
It’s sure to please even the pickiest of eaters and every chocolate lover.
Serve it with a side of ice cream and warm cup of coffee, enjoy it for breakfast, have it for a snack … it’s just so good, you will be looking for new reasons to make it and eat it.
