Cooking Chocolate Macaroon Pie:
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 2: Prepare the Coconut Crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well.
- Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Stir with a rubber spatula until everything is well combined.
- Step 4: Form the Pie Crust. Grease your 9-inch pie dish lightly and press the coconut mixture into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
- Step 5: Bake the Crust. Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Step 6: Prepare the Chocolate Filling. While the crust is baking, melt the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over low heat.
- Step 7: Fill the Pie Crust. Once the crust is baked, pour the melted chocolate mixture into it and spread evenly.
- Step 8: Chill the Pie. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the chocolate filling is set.
- Step 9: Serve and Enjoy. Slice and serve, garnishing with whipped cream or toasted coconut if desired.
Notes
