Preparation

For the base: In a food processor process flour sugar coffee and margarine until crumbly. Add egg yolks and process 1 minute more.

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Roll the dough into a thin sheet and transfer to a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan. Prick holes in dough and freeze for a half hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Transfer frozen crust to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Cool completely before adding the filling. For the filling: Beat cream sugar dissolved coffee and pudding mix until firm. Transfer to a pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe into baked pie crust and freeze for one hour.

For the topping: Melt chocolates and mix together. Spread to cool on a parchment-lined surface. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top. Allow chocolate to harden for 3–4 minutes then cut out a 9-inch (23-cm) circle. Cut out a 4-inch (10- cm) circle from the center of the circle so you have a wide ring.

Freeze the ring until firm then place over the cappuccino filling. Set aside the extra chocolate for garnishing.
