Ingredients

Crust
  • 6 tbsp sweet butter room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs (11-12 full graham crackers)
Filling
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder Hershey's Special Dark
  • 7 oz evaporated milk or sub full fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups Chobani coconut flavored Greek Yogurt
Toppings
  • ½ cup coconut flakes
  • Whipped Cream
  • melted chocolate / chocolate flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
For the crust
  1. In a food processor (or with a pastry blender), combine room temperature butter and graham crackers until they’re crumbled and butter is absorbed.
  2. Grease a pie dish and dump crust mixture into the pie dish. Spread to form an even layer on the bottom and ¾ of the way up the sides of the pie dish.
  3. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
For the filling
  1. Heat a sauce pan to medium heat. Add butter and milk. Once the milk starts to bubble on the sides and butter is completely melted, add in the chocolate chips and whisk ferociously until no more chocolate chunks remain.
  2. Add in the cocoa powder and whisk again until combined.
  3. Then, turn off the heat and add in evaporated milk and coconut yogurt. Stir until it’s a silky chocolate texture.
  4. Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust
Bake
  1. Place your pie into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges of the chocolate ganache start to harden.
  2. Spread shredded coconut on a clean baking pan. Add the pan to the oven for the last 10-15 minutes of pie bake time (not on the pie) to toast the coconut.
  3. Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle shredded, toasted coconut around the circumference of the pie.
  4. Once cooled to room temperature, place the pie in the refrigerator for 6 hours (or the freezer for 3). This is a MUST for the pie to set. If you slice into the pie you will have a chocolate puddle. While that might not be the worst thing in the world, it will not work.
  5. Slice and enjoy cold!

Notes

  • Helpful tips: When you're making the crust, spray the bottom of a measuring cup with cooking spray and then use it to flatten the graham cracker mixture into the pan.

  • Line your pie dish with parchment paper. Pie dishes are hard to cut and serve slices out of. If you leave ‘handles’ on the parchment paper, you can remove the pie once it’s set and have ease of serving (as well as slicing).
