Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • ½ cup finely chopped almonds
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 ¼ cups milk
  • ¼ cup flaked coconut

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8x8-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat unsalted butter with sugar with an electric mixer until very creamy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and cocoa powder, and beat until the ingredients are well mixed. Pour in the graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup coconut, and almonds, and beat on low speed until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, and let the crust cool.
  • Melt chocolate chips with 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring until well blended. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for several minutes, then spread the chocolate mixture over the crust in a smooth layer. Refrigerate the dish while you make the next layer.
  • Beat the pudding mix and milk in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until the pudding is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread the pudding over the chocolate layer; sprinkle the dish with 1/4 cup coconut, cover loosely, and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour.
