Steps:
- Preheat oven to 320ºF and line a 1/2 baking sheet with the macaron template and parchment paper
- Sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and almond flour, twice if not blended.
- Pulse the mixture in a food processor 8-10 times to make the almond flour mixture even finer and texture and to blend the ingredients together.
- Whip the egg whites on low to frothy consistency and slowly add the sugar in thirds.
- Once the egg whites turn white and you can see some lines forming in the surface from the whisk, add cream of tartar, whipping on medium until soft glossy peaks form.
- Add the vanilla to the meringue during the soft peak stage. Then continue whipping on medium-high until you get stiff peaks that start gathering and bunching on the inside of the whisk.
- Add 1/3 of your almond mixture to the meringue. Fold your spatula under the batter and around the edges and then cut through the center until almond flour is mixed in. Continue with the rest of the almond flour and folding until homogenous. (see video)
- Gently press the spatula on top of the batter while you turn the bowl to take out some fo the air from the meringue. Continue folding around the outside edge until the batter forms a ribbon and moves like lava.
- Your meringue is ready when it forms a ribbon off the spatula and the batter that settles almost dissolves all the way back into the rest of the batter but still leave a bit of a line.
- Place parchment paper onto your sheet pan. Pipe small rounds about 1" in diameter. Use a template if needed
- Drop the pan onto the table 5-6 times from about 5" above the table to release bubbles. Use a toothpick to remove big pockets of air trapped under the surface. Use a very small amount of water on your fingertip to smooth any rough spots.
- Allow to dry, uncovered until a crust forms on the surface. About 30 minutes - 2 hours or until a dry film develops over the surface of the cookie. For humid areas put a space heater nearby to help dry the cookies faster.
- Bake at 320ºF for about 14-15 minutes or until lightly browned. If not quite brown baked, bake for an additional 1 minute. Cooled cookies should pull away from the parchment paper without sticking. If they do stick, they were not baked enough.
- Let cool fully before removing from the parchment and filling with ganache. Cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shells can be frozen for 6 months in an airtight container.
- Place all the ingredients into a heatproof bowl and microwave for one minute. Let sit for 5 minutes then whisk until smooth. Heat for another 15 seconds if not fully melted. Place into the fridge for 20 minutes then whisk until smooth. It should be the texture of peanut butter.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10" tart pan (with removable bottom) with nonstick cooking spray. Place your tart pan on a cookie sheet to avoid spilling in your oven.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is no longer glossy. Cool completely before making filling.
- To make the filling, place the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl or measuring cup. Heat in the microwave about 2 minutes, or just until it starts to bubble slightly (but don't let it come to a full boil). Add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 10-15 seconds, then whisk until smooth and the chocolate is all dissolved. Pour into crust.
- Let it sit at room temperature until cool and set. You can make this up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the refrigerator but allow it to come to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 9" pie pan with nonstick spray. Mix egg white, coconut, sugar, butter, and salt with a rubber spatula in a large bowl until evenly combined and the consistency of a stiff paste. Using your hands, press mixture evenly onto bottom and up sides of pie pan. Bake until edges are golden brown and bottom is set and just barely golden, 15-20 minutes. Transfer pie pan to a wire rack (leave oven on to toast almonds and coconut) and let crust cool. Brush crust with melted chocolate.
- Custard and assembly:
- Bring lime zest, pandan leaf (if using), milk, and coconut milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Cover and let sit off heat 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool. Toast coconut on same baking sheet, tossing once, until edges are golden, about 4 minutes.
- Stir almonds into melted chocolate in a small bowl. Spread in an even layer on a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle toasted coconut over chocolate almonds and chill until firm, 8-10 minutes. Coarsely chop, then cover and chill.
- Pluck out lime zest and pandan leaf from milk mixture; discard. Return milk mixture to a simmer. Whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl to combine. Whisking constantly, gradually add 1/2 cup milk mixture to egg mixture. Whisking constantly, add egg mixture to milk mixture in saucepan and cook over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbling (it will look like thick pudding). Remove from heat and whisk in butter and lime juice.
- Scrape custard into crust and press a piece of plastic wrap against surface. Chill until set, about 2 hours.
- Just before serving, whip cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl to medium-stiff peaks. Spoon over custard, leaving about a 1" border, and swirl decoratively. Scatter chocolatealmond mixture around perimeter.
- Do ahead:
- Pie (without whipped cream) can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled.
