Quick and Easy Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie Recipe
Delicious & Easy Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie
I love chocolate and I love coconut! So this pie is packed with things that I love. If you are like me and you like chocolate and coconut too, you are going to LOVE this pie! Another thing I love about this chocolate coconut cream pie is that it is so quick and easy to make.
So easy in fact that I made two pies today; one with a graham cracker crust and one with a pre-made pastry crust. I thought they were both very good, but the majority of my guests slightly preferred the graham cracker crust. Here are two awesome crust recipes you can use with this coconut cream pudding pie:
- If you want to make a homemade pastry crust for this pie try my pie crust recipe.
- If you want to make a graham cracker crust try my graham cracker crust recipe.
Both recipes are pretty simple, but using a pre-made crust will save you some time! The only downside to the pre-made crust is that it might not taste as good AS good – it will still taste amazing though. 😉
Ingredients
There are only 6 ingredients needed to make this chocolate coconut cream pie! We did warn you that this recipe was simple, didn’t we?
Toasting Your Coconut
Toasting coconut is pretty simple, you just have to stay close and keep an eye on it because it can burn easily!
The First Layer of Your Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie
The first layer you’re going to add to your pie is the chocolate layer. This layer consists of melted chocolate chips, whip cream, and toasted coconut. It tastes like a candy bar slipped into the bottom of the pie. Yummy!
The Second Layer
For the second layer of your pie, add your coconut cream pudding on top of the chocolate layer. Then, refrigerate your pie for later.
Looking Good!
The shot above is a photo of the pastry crust and the graham crust. Both turned out great! As you can see, I topped both pies off with the whipped topping and the toasted coconut.
Look at those beautiful layers of chocolate coconut cream pie goodness! That is one perfect pie right there.
Enjoy!
Now that your chocolate coconut cream pie is ready after all that hard work in the kitchen, it’s time for you to relax and enjoy it! Invite some of your friends over too so they can all enjoy the pie goodness. If you need a nice pie serving dish, check out these ones on Amazon.
