Patti's 1880 Restaurant Boo-Boo Pie

A fudgy, brownie-like layer forms the crust for this diet-busting "pie" (it's worth the calories).

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cups coconut (one 7 ounce bag)
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie plate.
2. Mix together coconut and milk; set aside.
3. Melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave set at medium heat (this should take about 3 minutes). Stir until smooth. Combine with sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Spoon this chocolate batter into the pie pan and spread over the bottom of the pan.
5. Spread coconut-milk mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border between it and the edge so the chocolate layer can form a crust as the pie bakes.
6. Bake for 25 minutes.
