Description

This Triple Decker Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie is a show-stopping dessert that combines two classic flavors into one elegant treat. The base layer is a silky, dark chocolate pudding, while the middle layer features a creamy, sweet coconut filling made with shredded coconut. Topped with a final layer of chocolate and finished with fresh whipped topping, it offers a delightful contrast of textures and tastes. Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or when you want to impress guests, this pie requires some patience to chill properly but is well worth the wait.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and milk until smooth.
  2. Blend in the slightly beaten eggs.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil.
  4. Boil and stir for exactly 1 minute to thicken the mixture.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until melted and combined.
  6. Pour 1-1/2 cups of the warm cream filling into a small bowl and stir in the sweetened coconut; set aside to cool slightly.
  7. In a separate small bowl, stir together the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk until smooth.
  8. Blend the cocoa mixture into the remaining cream filling in the saucepan.
  9. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook just to a boil, stirring constantly.
  10. Remove from heat and immediately pour 1 cup of the chocolate filling into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
  11. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the chocolate layer.
  12. Top with the remaining chocolate filling, spreading it evenly to the edges.
  13. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pie to prevent a skin from forming.
  14. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, or until completely set.
  15. Just before serving, spread whipped topping over the chilled pie.
