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!!

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 ;)

Post by: Bonsai on July 31, 2012, 12:52:04 pm: 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!

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

Post by: Mama Fergie on December 26, 2012, 06:01:39 am: Made this again as one of my Christmas desserts.
Actually had leftovers and the comments I received were nice but rich and not enough sweetness. :(
I like it but yes possibly needs a little more sweetness.
Have made it twice before and will make it again.
DS ate my pistachios that I had in a bowl for decorating!!!

Post by: Mama Fergie on December 26, 2012, 10:39:07 pm: My GD tried this last night and agreed with me that it needed something to add sweetness.
She said they make something very similar at the restaurant and stir through some chopped raspberries into the chocolate mix to cut through the dark chocolate taste. They then add shaved milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream to give a touch of sweetness. And of course a drizzle of raspberry coulis on the plate ;D LOL

Post by: Bonsai on February 13, 2013, 01:31:07 pm: I think this a recipe you will love if you're a fan of dark chocolate -it's rich and not too sweet. Adding a berry coulis or some fresh fruit on top might work for those who want a sweeter finish. I liked it because I find a lot of desserts too sweet and this was just right

Post by: Girlpower247 on February 19, 2013, 08:41:18 am: I don't have FFS, so can't make this, but just had to leave a comment on your beautiful decorating skills Maddy, you are not just
the shopping Queen extrordinaire, but you have such a flair for decorating, both food wise and in your home.
I have seen quiet a few pics of your dishes and they all look so amazing, love your work :)

Post by: marabi on April 04, 2015, 06:37:58 am: This pie is divine!!!

I made it early afternoon to take to a family dinner where everyone had contributed. It did get lost amongst all of the other typically very sweet desserts on offer.

However because there was so much of the pie left I was able to take it home and OMG it got better with age. Would recommend this as a stand alone course and make it the day before.

5/5 for sure!!!

Post by: cookie1 on April 09, 2015, 04:40:27 am: Thanks again for the review. I haven't made this but my DH tells me he doesn't like coconut. However he eats it when I use coconut milk. ??? ???
