Cook time: PT25M
Total time: PT105M

Ingredients
- 1  unbaked pie crust ((homemade or store-bought) OR a graham cracker crust)
- 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 1 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- toasted coconut & shaved dark chocolate  (for garnish)

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Blind bake the crust until golden brown (15 minutes with pie weights followed by 15 minutes without weights).
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, milk, and sugar. Whisk the water and cornstarch together in a separate bowl.
3. Bring the coconut mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut extract.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each burst, until melted (around 60 to 90 seconds). Add 1/2 of the coconut pudding mixture to the melted chocolate. Stir well until combined, then pour into the prepared pie crust and smooth into an even layer.
5. Carefully spoon the remaining coconut pudding over the chocolate layer so the two layers remain distinct. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hour until set.
6. Before serving, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form.
7. Top with whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings or toasted coconut.
