A simple but very tasty recipe: the Chocolate coconut pie and its almond shortbread. A creamy filling made from coconut milk and grated coconut, topped with a dark chocolate ganache. Very simple and quick to make, it is also very fragrant!
Fancy a simple and gourmet dessert? Then this coconut pie is for you! If like me you love it coconut and chocolate duo, I'm sure you'll love it. In addition, it can be made in advance: this coconut pie is even better the next day...
What ingredients do you need to make this coconut pie?
You must first provide the ingredients for the homemade shortbread : flour, icing sugar, softened butter, ground almonds, egg and salt.
For coconut filling, it is necessary to provide canned coconut milk, whole liquid cream, an egg, grated coconut and brown sugar.
For ganache, you only need 2 ingredients: dark pastry chocolate (not very full-bodied) and whole liquid cream.
NB: the ingredient dosages of my recipe are suitable for a family round pie pan. If you opt for a rectangle format coconut tart like in my photos, you will have to reduce the doses because its capacity is smaller.
How to make this chocolate coconut pie?
We start by preparing the shortbread with almonds, this step can be done in advance. To make it, just mix the dry ingredients together then add the butter while kneading. We finish with the egg then we form a ball which must be refrigerated.
Then we roll out the dough and fill the mold. Dry cooking is done so that the dough is crispy and cooked. The time varies depending on your oven, it's up to you to check the cooking.
To prepare the coconut filling, heat the liquid cream and coconut milk. Apart from whipping the egg and the brown sugar, pouring in the lukewarm mixture then the grated coconut. We pour this filling on the pie shell and then bake again.
For chocolate ganache, it's very simple: heat the cream and pour it over the chocolate cut into pieces. Smooth well then coat the coconut pie with ganache before putting it in the refrigerator. The grated coconut is added before serving.

Good evening :) again a big thank you for this delicious recipe which has been approved by all gourmets!
Does your dough also break? Personally, I had to assemble it in my mold
And for the 1st cooking do you put something on it?
In any case very good tart, simple and effective;)
Lilie bakery
Hello Pauline, if it breaks, it doesn't matter, yours was perhaps still too cold. You can add ceramic balls or pulses if necessary in white cooking. See you soon :)
Lou

I like to try this delicious pie but I don't like coconut! Can I replace coconut milk with cow's milk?
Lilie bakery
Hello, you can replace the coconut milk with the same amount of liquid cream, and add 1tsp natural vanilla extract instead of the grated coconut.
Barbara
Performed twice with great success. Personally, I double the quantities for the chocolate ganache and I add 40g of butter.
Better done the day before than the day before, I think.
Patrick
Hello,
I replaced the coconut milk (which I didn't have) with liquid cream.
The result with these proportions was very good for a large round pie pan and the coconut / chocolate combination was appreciated.
Thank you for this recipe.
