  • 1 ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips (melted)
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup water

Caramel Sauce

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Crust

  • In a food processor finely chop your macadamia nuts.
  • In a medium bowl combine your chopped nuts, butter, flour, sugar, salt and vanilla.
  • Press your crust mixture into the bottom and along the sides of a pie pan.
  • Bake crust at 325 degress for 12 minutes. Let cool.

Caramel Sauce

  • In a medium sauce pan, melt together your butter and sugar on medium heat until lightly bubbling.
  • Then add your cream and salt and remove from the heat. Stir rigorously until combined.
  • Set aside about ¼ of your sauce for later (this can be an eye ball measurement)
  • Pour the rest of your caramel sauce into your crust. Place in the freezer to let harden for about 30 minutes.

Chocolate Filling

  • In a large sauce pan, add your coconut milk, whole milk, and sugar. Continuously mix and simmer on medium heat until sugar is melted and your mixture is brought to a light boil.
  • Lower the heat to low and add your chocolate. Mix until combined and melted.
  • In a small bowl whisk together your cornstarch and water. Then add this mixture to your pan/chocolate mixture.
  • Continue to simmer on low heat until mixture thickens.
  • Take off heat and let mixture cool completely.

Whipped cream/ topping

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer add your heavy cream and sugar and mix on high speed until you reach stiff peeks.
  • Add your chocolate filling to your pie crust (over the caramel). Then pile the whipped cream high on top of that. Top with your remaining caramel, toasted coconut, and a few left over crushed macadamia nuts!
