MOUNDS BAR PIE

Category: Pies - Miscellaneous

Coconut Crust
4 tablespoons of butter
6 cups of shredded coconut

Filling
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
8 ounces of chocolate chips (dark or semi sweet)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

For Crust: In a food processor combine butter with 3 cups of coconut. Pulsing until a ball forms. This takes about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and add remaining coconut. Mix together. Press into a 9 inch pie pan. Place a foil ring around the edge to prevent over browning. (Basically you need to just wrap foil around the edge of the crust, not the whole crust) Bake 10 minutes and removed foil. Bake 4-6 minutes more or until edges are lightly browned.

For Filling: Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Place chocolate in a bowl and pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit 10 minutes, then stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is combined. Pour into coconut crust. Refrigerate until the filling is set, about 2-4 hours.
