Chocolate Macaroon Pie – this easy macaroon recipe is baked into a pie crust and then filled with a rich chocolate ganache filling! It’s the perfect mixture of decadent chocolate and coconut – this pie is always a hit!
A few weeks ago I decided to make a Facebook video for my coconut macaroon recipe. The night before I did what I always do on a heavy video/baking day: I measured out all my ingredients in all the little bowls and set them on a cookie sheet for easy transfer into my office, where I do all my baking (because it’s where my video set-up is). The irony is I just got a brand new kitchen and I bake in my office, but whatever. #foodbloggerproblems
On filming day, I set up the cameras and got to filming the macaroons (one of my favorite recipes, BTW). I got through the entire first part, where you stir the coconut with the flour and do the perfect pour shot of the sweetened condensed milk, mixed it all together…and then I realized the memory card was full and the camera stopped recording after I set the bowl down. It didn’t even film the first ingredient going into the bowl.
(Okay, inventors, invent a camera that beeps loudly at you when the camera stops filming.)
My heart sank because I knew I had to make more batter. What was I going to do with 4 dozen macaroon cookies? And then I remembered I’ve been wanting to make a CRUST out of a macaroon for a very long time. A macaroon pie crust, like a cookie crust but the cookie is a coconut macaroon. And then I’d fill the pie with chocolate ganache because, why not?
I went to the kitchen to turn the cookie dough into a crust and make another batch of ingredients to film for real…and then I realized I was out of sweetened condensed milk, so I had to go to the store and buy new ingredients.

After all that, I made the coconut macaroon video and got a bonus recipe and video (this chocolate macaroon tart), took photos and went about my month knowing I’d post the tart closer to Easter. Fast forward to Monday last week when I was getting this post ready. I edited the photos and they were horrible. HORRIBLE. There was a glare, the lighting was off, I’d covered the tart with plastic wrap and there were plastic wrap marks all over the top I couldn’t fix in editing.
So what did I do? Yep. I made a THIRD batch of macaroons so I could make a SECOND Chocolate Macaroon Pie and take better photos. But the first thing I had to go do before I did all that? You guessed it: I had to go buy more sweetened condensed milk because I was out. Again.
It’s been a week, you guys.
