This Caribbean fudge pie is a rich and indulgent dessert that combines the flavors of the tropics with a classic fudge pie. The pie has a buttery graham cracker crust and a creamy, chocolatey filling with hints of coconut and rum. Topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut, this pie is the perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup shredded coconut, toasted
  • Whipped cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and coconut milk. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  8. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and firm.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut over the top of the pie.
  10. Slice the pie and serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
