Ingredients

  • Pie Filling Ingredients:
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (extract will work)
  • Crust & Topping:
  • 1 (6 oz) Chocolate Oreo Pie Crust
  • Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips, melted
  • 1/2 cup whole roasted almonds

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the pie ingredients together: melted butter, egg, flour, sugar, coconut, vanilla paste and milk together.
Spread ¼ cup almonds on the bottom of the pie crust, cover with ½ of the melted milk chocolate.

Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set up. After the chocolate sets up a little bit, pour in the pie filling.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until set. The top will be golden brown.

Allow to cool.

Scatter remaining ¼ cup almonds on the top of the cooled pie; pour melted chocolate over the almonds. Put in fridge for the chocolate to set up. Enjoy!

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t? No problem.
To make a Mounds Pie: Leave out the almonds and use dark chocolate instead.
