Ingredients:
For the crust:
– 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (from chocolate graham crackers or chocolate wafers)
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramels, unwrapped
– 2 tbsp butter
– ½ tsp vanilla extract
– 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted
For the topping:
– ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother drizzle)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan.
2. Make the Crust:
– In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
– Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish.
– Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes. Remove and let cool while you prepare the filling.
3. Toast the Coconut:
– In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the shredded coconut until golden brown, stirring frequently. This should take about 5–7 minutes. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Make the Caramel Coconut Filling:
– In a saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, caramel bits (or soft caramels), and butter. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted.
– Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the toasted coconut. Mix well to combine.
5. Assemble the Pie:
– Pour the caramel-coconut mixture into the cooled chocolate crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
– Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
6. Add the Chocolate Drizzle:
– In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 15-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth.
– Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie in crosswise lines or any design you like.
7. Serve & Enjoy:
– Let the pie come to room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
– Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
💡 Pro Tip: For an extra fancy presentation, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the pie after adding the chocolate drizzle!
