Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and butter together.

- Stir in the snipped coconut.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of regular chocolate. If you want to add a twist, mix in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the coconut mixture. To make it easier to remove the pie from the pan, line it with parchment paper. This party ice cream pie can be made ahead of time, allowing you to enjoy more of the festivities.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pie with whipped cream on top for added texture and sweetness. It pairs beautifully with Krispy Brownies for a delightful dessert spread at your next gathering. Consider garnishing with additional coconut flakes or chocolate shavings for an attractive presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain the texture of the ice cream. If the pie becomes too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. This will make slicing easier and restore some creaminess to the ice cream.
