Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk
4 ounces (1 1/2 cups) sweetened angel-flake coconut
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Unsalted butter, for wrap

Steps:

  • Place egg yolks in a large bowl; whisk to combine; set bowl aside.
  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the reserved egg yolks to temper. Slowly pour warm yolks into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook slowly, stirring, over medium-low heat, until mixture begins to bubble, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and vanilla.
  • Transfer filling to a medium mixing bowl. Lightly butter a piece of plastic wrap, and lay it directly on top of filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups milk
4 eggs, separated
1 Tbsp butter
1 cup coconut, flaked

Beat egg whites with 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff.Spread on hot pie filling. Sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of coconut. Bake until brown

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut cream. Fresh coconut cream is thicker and has a richer flavor than canned coconut cream. If you can't find fresh coconut cream, you can use canned coconut cream, but be sure to use full-fat coconut cream and not lite coconut cream.
  • Chill the coconut cream before whipping. This will help the coconut cream whip up thicker and fluffier.
  • Use a chilled bowl and beaters. This will also help the coconut cream whip up thicker and fluffier.
  • Whip the coconut cream until it forms stiff peaks. This means that the coconut cream will hold its shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • Add sugar or other flavorings to taste. You can add sugar, vanilla extract, rum extract, or other flavorings to the whipped coconut cream to taste.
  • Use the whipped coconut cream immediately. Whipped coconut cream will not hold its shape for long, so it is best to use it immediately.
