Why You’ll Love
- The toughest part of this recipe was making a nice fluffy rim with the coconut crust. But that was a heck of a lot simpler than rolling out a pastry crust!
- The filling entailed pouring hot cream over the chopped chocolate and stirring. Easy peasy. The whole pie went together in a snap. And boy was it a hit!
- The sweet and chewy crust was filled with creamy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate ganache. Coconut lovers will swoon! Who wouldn’t love a macaroon crust? And you are all in for an even bigger treat today.
- Are you annoyed by recipes that require an endless shopping list? Add this yummy coconut ganache pie to your baking list!
A 4 Ingredient Dessert!
I am a huge fan of easy recipes, especially when they become some of our favorite go-to dishes for dinner or dessert. A couple of years ago I shared a flank steak marinade composed of red wine, orange juice, and soy sauce. I usually have all the ingredients in the kitchen and it’s perfect to toss on the grill for a quick meal if you remember to marinate the night before.
I was challenged to make another 5 Ingredient or Less recipe. But I couldn’t go savory again. I just couldn’t. It had to be sweet and decadent. After mulling over easy fudge recipes, I couldn’t pass up this coconut crusted chocolate ganache pie inspired by Martha Stewart.

Coconut Crusted Chocolate Ganache Pie Recipe
An easy coconut and chocolate pie with only 4 ingredients!
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 11 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate , finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a food processor, blend butter and one-third of coconut until mixture makes a mass, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the rest of the coconut.
- Press coconut mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate, leaving top edges less compressed and fluffy. Arrange foil over the rim of crust to prevent burning. Bake until the middle begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake until edges are browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove to rack to cool completely.
- Gently melt chocolate and cream in the microwave, stopping and stirring at 30-second increments till melted and smooth. Pour into coconut crust. Refrigerate until filling is set, at least one hour.

I’m a huge coconut fan and this crust looks to-die-for!
How clever! I’d go to town on that filling all on its own!
So, so pretty! I love Manu’s idea of making it in tiny tarts…maybe in mini-muffin tin? That way I could have SEVERAL!
I could grow to love recipes with so few ingredients if they are pies made of chocolate and coconut. 🙂 I am determined to make this even if I have to enjoy it all by myself! Everyone else around here is “not a fan” of coconut. I’m ok with that.
Oh my goodness…I am absolutely in love with this pie, and I MUST have it in my life immediately. What a great combo…anything with chocolate and coconut has my heart!
Such a decadent treat using just 4 ingredients????You are Amazing Liz!!I’d love to dig into this right now 🙂
That crust looks absolutely fabulous, Liz! It’s like an enormous macaroon filled with chocolate. Genius!
That is such a pretty looking pie, Liz. I love the contrast of colour between the crust and the filling. But when you say, ‘sweetened coconut’, is that something you can buy? Because coconut here is just coconut; there’s nothing added. I’m just wondering if I would have to add something to sweeten it and if so, what type of sweetener! xx
Wow, this is one gorgeous pie! I am such a big fan of coconut and absolutely love the coconut crust! The ganache filling is just stunning too! I love how little ingredients this has and seriously can’t wait to make this – pinning 🙂
