COCONUT CREAM PIE CAKE



Coconut Cream Pie Cake image

I got this coconut cream pie recipe on Face Book some time ago. It took me awhile to try it and now we are hooked. I would suggest making and frosting this cake a day before as the cake texture is better the second day. So yummy!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can(s) coconut milk or cream
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
8 oz cool whip
1 small package sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • 1. Make the yellow cake according to package directions and bake in a 9 X 13 baking pan or dish.
  • 2. While baking the cake, mix one can of coconut cream or milk with a can of sweetened condensed milk. You can use any brand, I personally pick it up at the Dollar Store as it is cheaper.
  • 3. When the cake is done and while it's still hot take a skewer or a chopstick and poke holes evenly all the way thru the cake. Be sure to poke holes along the sides of the cake if possible. (Leave the cake in the pan or dish by the way)
  • 4. Pour the coconut milk/condensed milk over the cake evenly till it's all used. It will pool along the cake but that's ok. Let the cake cool in the pan or dish then put in the refrigerator.
  • 5. When the cake is cold, spread the cool whip over the cake then sprinkle the flaked coconut over the top. If you can, make this one or two days ahead of time the consistency is like a coconut cream pie! The taste is sooo very good and creamy. ENJOY!

DAD'S FAVORITE COCONUT CREAM PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups crunchy chocolate cookies (without filling)
5 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 3/4 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large egg yolks
1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and set it aside.
  • In a food processor, combine the chocolate cookies with the coconut oil and salt and pulse until the mixture is sandy and starts to clump together. Add the coconut and pulse just a couple more times to get it evenly distributed.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing it up against the sides to give it a 1- to 1 1/2-inch-tall crust. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Let it cool.
  • For the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt and egg yolks. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded coconut and pour into the cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (This can be done up to 2 days in advance; keep covered in the refrigerator.)
  • For the topping: Toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let it cool.
  • With an electric mixer or in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Spread it on the pie, then sprinkle with the toasted coconut flakes. Top with shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When you're ready to take it out of the pan, run a small offset spatula around the edge and carefully remove the sides. Enjoy!
