Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 30 Oreo cookies (cream included)
• ½ cup (46g) sliced almonds
• 1/3 cup (23g) shredded sweetened coconut
• 6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 2 1/3 cups (633ml) whole milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup (43g) cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 ounces (57g) unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
• 1 cup (70g) sweetened shredded coconut

For the Topping:

• Whipped Cream
• Toasted sliced almonds
• Toasted coconut

Directions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a food processor, combine the Oreo cookies, sliced almonds, and shredded coconut. Pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the melted butter until well combined.

Press the crumb mixture into a pie plate, forming an even crust along the sides and bottom. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

2. Make the Filling

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Divide the thickened mixture into two bowls. Stir the melted chocolate into one half of the mixture, and stir the shredded coconut into the other half.

3. Assemble the Pie

Pour the coconut custard over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Then, top with the chocolate custard, spreading it carefully to create two distinct layers. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.

Chill the pie in the refrigerator until fully set, at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the custard to firm up.

4. Add the Toppings

Before serving, top the pie with a generous amount of whipped cream. Garnish with toasted sliced almonds and toasted coconut for added crunch and flavor.
