Indulge in the symphony of flavors and textures presented by the Coconut Macaroon Pie, a delightful dessert that harmonizes the delicate sweetness of coconut with the richness of chocolate and the velvety creaminess of vanilla. This pie showcases three irresistible recipes in one: a flaky pie crust, a luscious coconut macaroon filling, and a decadent chocolate ganache topping.
The pie crust, a culinary canvas of golden perfection, provides a sturdy foundation for the pie's delectable filling. Made with simple ingredients like flour, butter, and sugar, this crust bakes to a beautiful golden brown, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite.
The coconut macaroon filling steals the show with its ethereal texture and explosion of coconut flavor. Shredded coconut, sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract come together to create a light and airy filling that melts in your mouth. This filling is the heart of the pie, delivering a delightful sweetness that is both comforting and refreshing.
Capping off this culinary masterpiece is a rich and indulgent chocolate ganache topping. Combining melted chocolate with heavy cream, this ganache is the epitome of decadence, adding a layer of sophistication and depth to the pie. The ganache's velvety texture and intense chocolate flavor create a harmonious balance with the coconut filling, making each bite an unforgettable experience.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Whisk the egg white, granulated sugar, almond extract and salt in a medium bowl until frothy. Add the coconut and stir to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, then transfer to a baking sheet. Bake, rotating the pan occasionally, until the crust is golden brown around the edges and dry and lightly toasted in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly.
- Make the filling: Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in the eggs, almond extract and salt. Whisk in the almond flour until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust. Loosely wrap a strip of foil around the crust edge to prevent it from over-browning. Bake on the baking sheet until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes (the filling will crack slightly in spots). Transfer to the rack and let cool completely.
- Make the topping: Whisk the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon over the pie before serving.
