Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 11 ounces (about 6 cups) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent cacao), finely chopped
Method
- Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a food processor, process butter and one-third of coconut until mixture forms a ball, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle remaining two-thirds coconut over mixture, and combine with your fingers.
- Place a 9-inch pie plate on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Press coconut mixture into bottom and up sides of pan to form crust, leaving top edges loose and fluffy.
- Place a foil ring (see page 324) over edge to prevent burning.
- Bake until center begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes; remove foil, and bake until edges are browned, 4 to 6 minutes more.
- Transfer crust to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the filling: Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan; pour over chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
- Let sit 10 minutes, then stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is combined.
- Pour into coconut crust.
- Refrigerate until filling is set, 1 hour or up to 1 day.
