I love coconut! However, I’m the only person in our house that likes it. Therefore, I never make recipes with coconut in them. That is, until recently when I was craving a pie that my mother made often when I was growing up. It’s a Japanese Chocolate Pie, made with chocolate, pecans, and coconut. I mean, what could be better than that? I gave in to the craving and made myself a pie. Yes, I hate to admit that I made a whole pie for myself, but I did. It was a delicious as I remember and I don’t regret it one bit!
I used an already pie crust to save time and I thought it worked just fine. Watch the pie crust closely, my crust was a little brown before I realized it and covered it with foil.
