Oh My Tenina  :-*   :-*   :-*. Just divine!





A very grown up, decadent dessert!  
You firstly taste the nuts in the crust, then the hint of lemon comes through....then you taste the decadent chocolate flavour with a hint of creamy coconut....was bliss!!

Well done Maddy!  Looks awesome!  I have this recipe ear-marked to make at some point.  However I know I can't pipe cream with that consistancy!  I'll get a couple of good ones and then loose patience with it.........

Here's a tip  ;).  I used the soft whipped cream to cover, then whipped the rest of the cream for a little longer, so it was more stable for piping.  Simply used a  Wilton 2D tip, and sqeezed out the stars....easy.
I wouldn't describe the pie as o.t.t. sweet, but lovely and rich...IYKWIM  ;)

This is a real winner. Quick to make (I put it together after dinner then quickly piped on cream rosettes before work the next morning). Everyone loved it at work - will definitely make again!

I just found the recipe and will make it on Friday. My DD asked me to make a cheesecake as she is having friends for a barbecue Friday .

Will make this instead on condition that she saves me a slice!!! :D  It looks awesome.
