Ingredients

Chocolate coconut crust
1 x nonstick cooking spray
14 Ounces chocolate (semi-sweet) coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup coconut sweetened, shredded
Filling
8 Ounces bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup cream of coconut
2 Teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Make the chocolate coconut crust:

Spray the bottom and side of a 9-inch pie pan well with nonstick cooking spray.

Melt the chocolate with the butter according to the directions in the Chocolate Key.

In a large bowl combine the melted chocolate mixture with the cereal and the coconut.

Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan.

Using a small offset metal cake spatula, spread the mixture evenly onto the bottom and side of the pan, covering it completely.

Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.

Make the filling:

Melt the chocolate with the water and butter according to the directions in the Chocolate Key.

Stir in the salt.

Allow the chocolate mixture to cool for 15 minutes.

In a large, chilled bowl combine the cream, cream of coconut and vanilla.

Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the mixture until soft peaks begin to form.

Using a large rubber spatula, fold one third of the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.

Fold in the remaining cream mixture.

Scrape the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a cake spatula.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, until the filling is set.

Allow the cake to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving (the pie is very difficult to slice otherwise).

Chicken with Pine Nuts

While visiting Seattle one summer, We ate at an upscale restaurant and I ordered a dish called Chicken and pine nuts in brown sause.. it was one of the best chicken dishes I've ever eaten.. and when I found this recipe, I was hoping it was the same one.. Well I think it is, if it's not exact, it's really close and it was so worth all the work to make it tonight.. Everyone enjoyed it..
