Coconut Chocolate Pudding Pie

This Coconut Chocolate Pie is inspired by my favorite candy bar – an Almond Joy! It’s a homemade pudding pie with a chocolate cookie crust that’s so cool, creamy and decadent everyone will fight over the last piece! The pie filling is made with homemade coconut and chocolate pudding that takes less than ten minutes to make - plus you can make and assemble the pie ahead so it’s ready to slice and serve later!
