Coconut Macaroon Pie with Chocolate Ganache Recipe

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 40 min. + chilling

Yield: 8 Servings

35 40 75

Ingredients

3 eggs, separated
Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1-1/2 cups flaked coconut
GANACHE:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Directions

Place egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; flute edges. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add sugar, beating on high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the cream, butter, lemon juice, salt and extract. Fold in coconut.
With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form; beat on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into coconut mixture. Pour into pastry shell.
Bake at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary). Cool completely on a wire rack.
For ganache, place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Drizzle over pie. Refrigerate until set. Yield: 8 servings.
