Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 (9 inch) pre-baked chocolate pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for the filling.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract to build flavor complexity.
  3. Mix Cocoa Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and milk until you achieve a smooth, even consistency with no lumps.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the cocoa mixture into the butter mixture, beating continuously until well combined and uniform in texture.
  5. Fold in Nuts and Coconut: Gently fold the chopped pecans and shredded sweetened coconut into the filling to evenly distribute these signature ingredients without deflating the batter.
  6. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared filling into the pre-baked chocolate pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to firm up to the perfect sliceable consistency.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve the pie cold for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the pie crust is fully cooled and pre-baked to avoid any sogginess.
  • The eggs are used raw in this recipe; for increased safety, consider pasteurized eggs.
  • Chilling the pie overnight will improve firmness and flavor melding.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Toasting the pecans and coconut lightly before folding in can enhance their flavor.
