Chocolate Velvet Pie

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain flour

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

1 cup desiccated coconut

1 cup dextrose

1 cup cream

1 cup milk

4 eggs - beaten

100g melted butter

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.  Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. Pour into a greased straight-sided 25cm pie dish
3. Bake for approx. 1 hour - mixture should be soft set not too firm.  I baked mine for around 1 1/4 hrs but it pays to check after 1 hour. 
4. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
5. Serve warm with cream.  Also is yummy cold.

The ingredients will separate whilst cooking to make a crunchy topping, a creamy chocolate custard filling and a doughy base.

This has become a real favourite in our household.
