This twist on a diner classic features a chocolate crust. Coconut stars in the crust, filling, and topping. Toasting the coconut topping gives it a rich, nutty flavor and crunchy texture.

Steps:
- Make crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, combine cookies and salt; process until fine crumbs form. With machine running, slowly pour butter through feed tube and process until mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in coconut. Press crumbs in bottom and up side of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake until crust is set, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pie plate on a wire rack.
- Make topping: Increase heat to 350. Spread 1/2 cup coconut on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Make filling: In a small saucepan, whisk together milk, egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. Cook over medium-high, whisking constantly, until bubbles form at the edge and mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and stir in 1 1/4 cups coconut. Pour filling into cooled crust and smooth top. Refrigerate until filling is chilled and completely set, about 2 hours (or wrap tightly with plastic and refrigerate, up to 2 days).
- To serve, whip cream until soft peaks form. Top pie with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

[email protected]This pie was a disaster! The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this pie again.
