If you just can't wait to get your hands on my next cookbook, be sure to tune into QVC this Wednesday (8/19) night around 8:30pm EST to catch me promoting it! You can pre-order!
When I say 'easiest,' I mean it! Four ingredients to silky chocolate pie. Four!
Not to mention the crispy coconut crust up there. If there are better lovers in the dessert world than chocolate and coconut, I have not found them. While chocolate flirts with peanut butter on the side quite a bit, it always returns to its true coconut love.
Other things to mention: gluten free. This pie makes me want to run around exclaiming 'I can't believe it's gluten free!' Here's the thing: I don't specifically develop recipes to be with or without certain ingredients. I develop recipes to be delicious. But, it seems everyone and their dog is avoiding gluten these days (no, really--my dogs are gluten-free). I am always looking for recipes that only require a few ingredients. Because I'm always looking for the fastest way to get dessert in my mouth.
Chocolate + cream + coconut + butter = this pie!
I scaled this chocolate pie down from Martha Stewart's Pies & Tarts cookbook. It's part of my ongoing collaboration with the folks at Martha, where they say 'hey, take this fantastic recipe and scale it down to serve two so I can eat both servings.'
And I say 'sure thing!' Everyone wins when it comes to mini pies.
So, while baking a big pie might be a weekend adventure, make this mini pie your weeknight venture. It comes together super quick, and your gluten free friends will love you. Your chocolate-free friends won't, though. But that's okay--more pie for you.
This delicious chocolate pie recipe is almost too good to share!Easy Chocolate Pie

This sounds heavenly! I love coconut and chocolate. My husband, not so much. So, I see two pies in my immediate future. This one for me and a twist for him. Do you have another crust recommendation? Perhaps graham cracker?
Shawnna says
This sounds really good!

LOVE the coconut crust and how simple it is- gotta try that. It almost reminds me of a macaroon :) Pinned!
Leila says
Would unsweetened coconut work? I'm going to try making this recipe dairy free with coconut cream or milk instead of the heavy cream. I'll keep you posted how it turns out!
Melissa Belanger says
Could this be any easier? What a delicious and simple recipe. I love it!
