Ingredients

1 can coconut milk 14 ounces
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup whipping cream
2 tbsp sugar or to taste
10 mini graham cracker pie/tart shells or one regular pie shell, see notes

Instructions

Make Coconut Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and coconut milk.
1 can coconut milk, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar
Heat to a boil.
Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and water and whisk to fully combine.
1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 cup water
Once coconut milk is boiling, reduce to a simmer and whisk in cornstarch slurry.
Continue to stir over low heat until mixture is thickened, to the consistency of pudding.

Make Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave (make sure to stir occasionally so it doesn't burn).
1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Combine

Divide coconut mixture evenly into two bowls and stir chocolate in to one.
Spread chocolate mixture onto the bottoms of pie shells and smooth out.
10 mini graham cracker pie/tart shells
Top with coconut mixture and smooth out.
Refrigerate until cool.

Serve

Before serving, whip the cream with sugar and layer on the pies.
Optional: garnish with chocolate shavings.
1 cup whipping cream, 2 tbsp sugar

Notes

You can use a regular pie crust, a graham cracker pie crust, or individual sized graham cracker pie shells. BUT the individual size shells come in packs of six. I made six and then put the rest into regular containers and ate it without the crust. Also delicious.
