Coconut & Chocolate {kind of like Mounds} Pudding Pie

I'm totally a surfer now. Like, professional-ish.

I went to a free Surfset class that CG Arena hosted tonight. Think surfboards strapped to exercise balls... then do lots of fitnessy things on top of those wobbly core-killers. oohhh, it burned so gooood. And then they gave us all Zico Coconut Water (and coconut water chapstick!)

So, now that I am all professional-ish, I'd better move to Hawaii or southern Cali and start eating my weight in coconuts.... mmmmmm, wouldn't that be the life?

Guess I'll start with this pie. I actually made this like a year ago and never posted it-- I am so sorry!

The recipe includes instructions for a "lightened up" graham cracker crust, but if smashing grahams with your iron fists is just not your thang, please feel free to buy the pre-made crusts at the grocery store.

Coconut Chocolate {kind of like Mounds} Pudding Pie

1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs (about 1 plastic package smashed)
