Almond Joy Pie


Pie Filling Ingredients:
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp all purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut
¾ cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (extract will work)


Crust & Topping:
1 (6 oz) Chocolate Oreo Pie Crust
Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips, melted
½ cup whole roasted almonds


Whisk the pie ingredients together: melted butter, egg, flour, sugar, coconut, vanilla paste and milk together.
Spread ¼ cup almonds on the bottom of the pie crust, cover with ½ of the melted milk chocolate.

Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set up. After the chocolate sets up a little bit, pour in the pie filling.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until set. The top will be golden brown.
Allow to cool.
Scatter remaining ¼ cup almonds on the top of the cooled pie; pour melted chocolate over the almonds. Put in fridge for the chocolate to set up. Enjoy!
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t? No problem.
To make a Mounds Pie: Leave out the almonds and use dark chocolate instead.

Best served at room temperature! If you'd like to eat it chilled, combine 3 tbsp of room temperature heavy whipping cream to the melted chocolate mixture before filling and topping the pie.

This will make a believer out of you.

How much chocolate chips to melt? A 12 oz bag?

Sounds awesome!

I just saw your reply. I'm not sure of the weight, it's the small bag though.

This here is some good stuff. Did the mounds version and used Nestle dark chocolate. Am no major cook, and it strained my abilities, but was gobbled down quickly by those in attendance. Thanks!

I'm glad it turned out well for you!
