This Almond Joy Pie is pure coconut heaven! With all the sweets in our house right now, this is the one I cannot stop eating. Itโs one of my all-time favorites! And even though you have to use the stove a little bit, thereโs no actual baking required, so itโs super easy to make!

Almond Joy Pie
Many times, I wish I was able to hand you a fork through the computer screen and give you free samples. Free samples are the best. Itโs one of the few reasons to brave going to Costco on a Sunday. They are just fun. Plus, you could discover a totally fun new food you wouldnโt have normally tried.
I wish you could sample this pie through the screen so youโd know just how good it is, buy the ingredients and make it. If you like coconut even a smidge, youโll love this pie. Seriously.
And itโs easy to make โ another reason to love it. There are times that you donโt want to deal with the oven and waiting for something to bake for 30 minutes, then cool, etc and this pie is great for those times. Sure, you have to use the stove, but itโs only for a few minutes. Then you pour the filling into the crust and the refrigerator does the rest of the work.
Iโm pretty lucky this week because I have to do less work than usual. My mother- and sister-in-law are in town and itโs quite nice because my SIL likes to help me bake, so things go quicker with her help and itโs someone to chat with my while I bake. Normally Iโm on my own or dancing around to whatever my music of choice is that day.
And my MIL is rockinโ it as my dish washing fairy. Itโs been totally awesome coming home every day to having all the dishes done and put away. I could get used to that. I pay with desserts, so I guess it works out. ๐ She even got to try this pie and was a fan like the rest of us!
Theyโll be here this weekend and part of next. They are originally from South Africa, but moved here to the U.S. about 20 years ago. Thereโs a South African restaurant weโve heard about in Atlanta and I think weโll be making our way down there for dinner this weekend. Iโm curious to see what kind of food and flavors theyโve got going on. Yay for the weekend!
Do you have anything fun planned? Maybe youโll be making a delicious Almond Joy Pie? ๐

Enjoy!
Can this Almond Joy Pie be made in advance? I would like to make it on a Thursday for a party on Saturdayโฆ.
Yes, it can be made in advance. That should be fine.
This is a great pie! I made it for work and had nothing but compliments. I did read through the reviews and noticed some people said their pie didnโt set. Iโm guessing the issue is they are not taking the 1/4 milk out of the 1 1/2 cups the recipe calls for.
Iโm so glad you enjoyed it! Great insight on the milk โ thank you! That would make sense.
I made thid pie for a work event. To my suprise and everyone elses it was too runny to slice. So embarassing! It looked amazing but wouldnt make it again.
This is so so so good. I just made it and altered a couple things:
-grocery outlet only had the caramel/coconut Oreos! So I used those in the crust and am not mad about it!
-I omitted the 1/2 C sugar because I figured with the sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and Oreo crust it would be plenty sweet for us and it is!
-I toasted all the coconut and almonds before adding to the pie.
DELICIOUS!
I used the filling as a layer of an Almond Joy/Mounds trifle (with a dark chocolate cake and dark chocolate ganache). IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
The taste is delicious and Iโve now made the pie twice. Will be making again this weekend for a small โdistance safeโ gathering of four friends. Iโve not been pleased with the way the pie โsetsโ after boiling. The first time, Iโm sure I didnโt boil the mixture long enough because I let it boil a good four minutes this time and it was better. One questionโฆ.should you reduce the heat slightly once it comes to a boil? That might make it easier to ensure that you do not scorch the mixture. I almost did the 2nd time and I was using a whisk. Thank you.
Mixed this for the second time, following the recipe precisely. Still runny, so added another 1/2 tsp. cornstartch and boiled another 2 min. Still runny. Smells great, will freeze and still eat but was hoping to share. :(.
This pie worked out perfectly! I used a store bought Oreo crust and unsweetened coconut. Since we only have skim milk, I used skim milk for about half of the milk and half and half for the other half. Also, I used hot fudge thinned out with half and half as a substitute for chocolate syrup since I like the taste better.
Some reviews said the filling was thin or did not set properly but it worked perfectly for me.
This pie is rich but delicious!
Wonderful! Iโm so glad to hear it worked out!
I tried this pie. Fixed it last night and we shared it for Christmas dinner! It was delicious! Very rich but definitely one that I will make again. I will probably just use a store bought crust to cut a step out of the recipe. I was very pleased with the directions & the outcome. It sat up nicely, tastes great & beautiful presentation!
How many cups of the sweetened condensed milk wud I need. The recipe just says a can..thanks
Itโs a 14 oz can. Iโve updated the recipe to be more specific.
Hiya. What do u mean by 2tbsp + 2tbs cournstatch do I add both tablespoons to the mix
It says 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons so you would add both to the mix. I believe one tablespoon is about 3 teaspoons so she probably said 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons because the recipe doesnโt need a full 3 tablespoons. That sounds really confusing but hope it helps!
I made this pie and itโs fantastic! I made a homemade chocolate syrup to drizzle over the top. Like a few others have commented about it not being thick enough, mine seemed to thicken up ok when I set it in the frig, but it canโt stay out of the frig long before itโs somewhat runny. Regardless, the flavor is excellent and Iโll definitely be making it again. Thank you for sharing.
Iโm so glad you enjoyed it!
What a great recipe! I made this for a work party, and it disappeared in no time.
I toasted the almonds to give them a little more flavor. Instead of using chocolate sauce, I poured that chocolate โshellโ stuff over the top of the pie, and pressed the almonds into it while it was wet. Served it at room temperature. Delicious!
Thanks for sharing.
