Review - Chocolate Coconut Pie For Foods Sake - page 131

[Mama Fergie]

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!!!

This looks amazing! Another great reason to get the book!

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  LOL

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

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

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!!!

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.
