Chocolate Almond Joy Pie

Day 37

Today’s recipe is for those of us who love the flavor of the Almond Joy candy bar, or at least for those of us who love that chocolate, almond, and coconut combination. One of the great things about this pie is that there is no baking involved, and it’s very, very quick to make and even faster to eat! It’s truly reminiscent of an Almond Joy, but with a lot more of a chocolate punch. And, it’s a winner every time I’ve served it. I hope this will become a must for your dessert rotation.

Chocolate Almond Joy Pie

Ingredients: 
½ cup sliced almonds, toasted plus 1 tbs. extra 
½ cup shredded coconut, toasted plus 2 tbs. extra 
1 pie crust, pre-baked and cooled

1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tbs. stick butter

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan, slowly heat cream, butter, and chocolate on low until thoroughly combined and until chocolate is completely melted. Stir constantly. When ready, the mixture should look like a smooth chocolate sauce.

 In the baked pie shell, sprinkle ½ cup sliced and toasted almonds and ½ cup toasted coconut. Pour chocolate mixture over almonds and coconut, filling the pie shell. Sprinkle with remaining coconut and almonds.
