Directions
- Prepare Pastry for Single-Crust Pie. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin. Unroll pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate without stretching. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp edge. (Do not prick.) Set aside.
- For filling: In a medium bowl, combine eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt.
- In pastry shell, layer milk chocolate pieces, semisweet chocolate pieces, semisweet and white chocolate pieces, 1 cup coconut, pecans and almonds. Slowly pour egg mixture over all, allowing egg mixture to sink down into filling. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pastry shell with foil.
- Bake the pie in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil; bake for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the center of pie appears set when gently shaken. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and store in refrigerator within 2 hours. If you like, serve with whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut and/or chocolate curls. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
