    Totally Easy Show-Off Coconut Crust Chocolate Pie
    Chocolate is one of life’s undeniable delights; there are few things as luxurious as that first rich, tantalizing bite of a chocolate pie.

    Since this is such a decadent dessert, start with a sliver of this rich dark chocolate and coconut crust pie. It is especially wonderful loaded with fresh fruit and a hot cup of coffee.

    pie with strawberries

    Despite its fancy appearance, this dessert is really an simple icebox pie at heart.

    And it’s GLUTEN-free and GRAIN-free, and it can easily be DAIRY-free, as well.

    The pie requires only four ingredients –

    • butter
    • chocolate
    • cream (or coconut milk)
    • shredded coconut

    It is very easy and makes up in a hurry (20 minutes or less).

     

    Coconut Crust Chocolate Pie

    Crust Ingredients:

    • 1 package 10-12 oz. (or approx. 3 3/4 – 4 cups) shredded, UN-sweetened coconut
    • 6 TBSP. butter (preferably organic), softened

    Chocolate Pie Filling Ingredients:

    • 1  1/4 c. heavy cream (OR for dairy allergies, sub 1 1/4 c. coconut milk fat – Native Forest)
    • 8 ounces of 60% dark chocolate, finely chopped or broken
    • 1/2 tsp. of sea salt

     coconut milk and decadent dark choco

     

    Crust Directions:

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    • Melt the butter on low in a small saucepan.
    • In a medium-sized bowl, thoroughly mix the unsweetened shredded coconut with the melted butter.
    • Place a 9-inch pie plate on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
    • Press coconut mixture into bottom and up sides of pan to form crust, leaving top edges loose and fluffy.
    • Place a foil ring over edge to prevent burning.
    • Bake until center begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes
    • Lastly, remove foil and bake until edges are browned, 4 to 5 minutes more.

    Coconut crust

    Toasting the coconut gives it a rich, nutty flavor and its wonderful crunchy-chewy texture.

    Chocolate Pie Filling Directions:

    • Bring cream (or coconut milk) just to a boil in a small saucepan 
    • Stir sea salt and broken chocolate into the saucepan.
    • Let sit 5 minutes, then stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is combined.
    • Pour into the crispy coconut crust.
    • Refrigerate until filling is set, 1 hour or up to 1 day. 

    making rich chocolate filling and adding strawberries

    And did I mention our favorite way is with lots of fresh, ripe strawberries or raspberries to compliment the crazy-richness of this pretty pie.

    Whipped cream would be amazing, too!

    The filling is so rich, smaller slices would be perfectly in order.

    It easily serves 8 happy persons with a second piece or 16 individual singles! [Cut pie into quarters, and then each quarter into 4ths].

    Bon appétit!

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      Delicious looking pie! What also caught my attention was the woven pot-holder. We have many of those made with loving fingers in our home too 🙂

      This looks really yummy!! And I like the fact that it doesn’t have any sugar in it, other than what is in the chocolate. =) Thanks for sharing the recipe!

      I’m enjoying your blog immensely! When it arrives in my email box, it feels similar to a visit from my sister. My mothers two favorite things, chocolate and coconut in one dessert. She’ll be happy to see me drive up!
      and a question. Is the sentence in your profile a quote from somewhere or merely words of wisdom you are sharing with us? ( The habits of the home in one generation become the morals of society in the next.)

      I’ve made a similar pie but use 8 oz of cream cheese instead of the cream. Wonder what effect would be using the cream and the cream cheese…may be made this weekend. Have lots of raw cream in my house, along with some fabulous locally made cream cheese!

        Whoa! Rachel, that sounds so wonderful…raw cream! Yes, I would opt for a softer version as well and love anything raw. Since the filling’s not baked, it would be so, so good for you!! Great alternative idea 🙂

      The pie looks so yummy! You mention using coconut milk for dairy sensitivities– but what do you use to make the crust also dairy free?

        Hi, KellyL,
        I use butter because some think OG butter has very little of the lactose of dairy products, but others want to use a true ssubstitute. Here is a list: http://www.eatingwithfoodallergies.com/dairysubstitutes.html Hope this helps!

      Hi Jacqueline,

      This sounds really good. What is the type of chocolate used? I.e. is unsweetened baking chocolate, sweet chocolate bar, semi-sweet, etc.?

      Thank you,
      Carolyn

      What would the dry measurement be for the coconut? I’m where we use metric so how much is 10-12 ounces of coconut?
      Can I use dark chocolate chips?
