Method
- Crush the cornstarch biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with softened margarine until it resembles wet sand. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish.
- In a saucepan, whisk together condensed milk, cornstarch, milk, and egg yolk until smooth. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in grated coconut. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the warm coconut cream over the biscuit layer and smooth the top. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave until smooth. Pour over the cooled coconut layer.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes
Make sure to press the crust very firmly for it to hold together. Stir constantly while cooking the cream to prevent lumps. Allow the coconut cream to cool before adding the chocolate layer for better separation. For a cleaner cut, use a hot knife and wipe it between slices. Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Feel free to experiment with flavors by adding nuts, coffee, or fruits to the layers for variety!
