INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. For the crust, melt the butter and combine it with graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 1-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the crust. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate chips are melted. Spread the melted chocolate chips out evenly over the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the filling: flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract, and stir until the batter is smooth. Then, fold in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and crushed walnuts or almonds.
4. Pour the filling mixture into the crust in the casserole dish. Bake the pie, uncovered, for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. To serve, place 2 tablespoons of butter on an ovenproof serving plate and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon. Place the plate in a warm oven until the butter melts. Remove the plate from the oven and place a large piece of warm pie directly onto the melted butter. Top the pie with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with hot fudge and caramel toppings.
