Crisp Coconut and Chocolate Pie image

Icebox pies, like this coconut-and-chocolate one, can be assembled in a snap. The crust is first toasted in the oven, then filled with chocolate ganache -- a rich mixture of chocolate and cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes 1 eight-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
11 ounces sweetened shredded coconut (about 6 cups)
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter and a third of the coconut in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until mixture forms a ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Sprinkle remaining coconut over mixture, and combine with your fingers.
  • Place an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom on a baking sheet. Press coconut mixture into bottom and up sides of pan to form a crust, leaving top edges loose and fluffy. Place a ring of aluminum foil over edge to prevent burning. Bake until center begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes; remove foil, and cook until edges are browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan, and pour over chocolate. Let sit 10 minutes, and stir until chocolate is melted and combined. Let cool, and pour into coconut crust. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to refrigerator until filling is set, at least 1 hour. Cut into wedges, and serve.

COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH CHOCOLATE-PAINTED CRUST



Coconut Cream Pie with Chocolate-Painted Crust image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 (9-inch) plain pie crust, prebaked and cooled
3 1/2 cups milk (not skim)
1/2 cup canned cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 egg yolks
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/8 cup chilled heavy cream
3/4 cup flaked or shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Stir the chocolate until melted in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water. Brush the baked pie shell up to the rim with the melted chocolate. Set aside to cool and harden at room temperature or, uncovered, in the refrigerator. Bring the milk, cream of coconut, and vanilla bean to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 15 minutes. Do not remove the vanilla bean. Meanwhile, whip the egg yolks and sugar together in mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer) until pale yellow and fluffy. With the mixer running at low speed, mix in the cornstarch, then gradually pour in the hot milk mixture. Strain the mixture back into the saucepan to smooth it. Whisking constantly, cook over medium high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the butter. Half-fill a large bowl with ice water. Rest the bowl containing the custard in the ice water and let cool, stirring frequently to cool the mixture. When the custard is cool, whip the cream until stiff. Fold the whipped cream and coconut into the custard. Pour the mixture into the chocolate-coated pie shell and smooth the top. Refrigerate uncovered at least 24 hours. Serve cold.;

Tips:

  • To make the coconut cream filling, you will need full-fat coconut milk. This will give the filling a rich and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use evaporated milk instead. However, the filling will not be as thick and creamy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the coconut cream filling. It should be thick and bubbly, but not curdled.
  • To make the chocolate-painted crust, you will need a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. You can also use a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off.
  • When painting the chocolate on the crust, work quickly so that the chocolate doesn't harden before you're finished.
  • If you're having trouble getting the chocolate to adhere to the crust, you can try chilling the crust for a few minutes before painting it.

Conclusion:

This coconut cream pie with chocolate-painted crust is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy coconut filling and the rich chocolate crust are a perfect combination, and the pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
