Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 large egg yolks
4 large eggs
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Meringue
6 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour, coconut, and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water in small bowl to blend. Add to processor and blend until mixture begins to clump together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling.)
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under; crimp decoratively. Pierce crust all over with fork; freeze 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is pale golden, about 15 minutes longer. Cool completely on rack.
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Whisk sugar and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Whisk in yolks, whole eggs, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and just begins to boil around edges, about 6 minutes. Add butter; whisk until smooth. Cool 10 minutes. Pour warm filling into crust.
  • For meringue:
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Gently fold 3/4 cup toasted coconut into meringue. Spread coconut meringue over warm filling, covering completely, sealing meringue to crust edges and mounding in center.
  • Bake pie 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F; bake 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut over pie; continue to bake until meringue is light golden brown and set when pie is shaken slightly, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate uncovered.)

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sugar Crust
1 coconut
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • While the sugar crust is being refrigerated, test each of the three eyes at the stem end of the coconut to see which is the softest. Then, use an ice pick or a screwdriver and a hammer to pierce two of the eyes. Strain water through a fine sieve into a bowl; reserve for another use or discard.
  • Place coconut on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 30 minutes, or until coconut shell begins to crack. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Wrap coconut in a clean kitchen towel; holding coconut with one hand, hit it with a hammer in the same place several times to crack the outer shell and split the coconut into several large pieces.
  • Separate coconut flesh from shell, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the dark outer skin. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the coconut, creating long shaved pieces about 1/4 inch wide. You will need 1 1/4 cups; chill remaining coconut in an airtight container for another use.
  • Remove crust from refrigerator. Cover with parchment, and fill with pie weights or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Prepare the custard: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until pale yellow and creamy. Add buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon juice, beating until well combined. Mix in lemon zest and 1 cup shredded coconut.
  • Pour mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle with remaining coconut, and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and continue baking until pie is golden brown and custard is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

COCONUT AND LEMON CREAM PIE



Coconut and Lemon Cream Pie image

Coconut and lemon are probably my favorite match. This pie has an unexpected shortbread-like crust made with only coconut oil! The result is flaky, crumbly, and delicious. The creamy curd center gets an upgrade using coconut cream! If you serve immediately, the pie will be a bit messier than if you were to chill it for a few hours.

Time 4h52m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup solid coconut oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch salt
¼ cup ice water
2 cups white sugar
1 cup coconut cream
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
3 lemons, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 pinch salt
3 egg whites
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Combine flour, coconut oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix until mixture forms large crumbles. Pour in ice water in a steady stream and continue to mix until dough comes together, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer dough to a large sheet of plastic wrap. Form into a disc and wrap tightly. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Press 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of a broiler-safe pie plate.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let crust cool completely.
  • Combine 2 cups sugar, coconut cream, eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest and juice, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until set, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and cream of tartar in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff, glossy peaks form, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Pour chilled curd into the cooled crust. Dollop big spoonfuls of meringue all over the curd.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until meringue is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Chill pie until set, 3 to 24 hours.

COCONUT LEMON PIE



Coconut Lemon Pie image

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 eggs
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup raspberries

Steps:

  • Melt butter and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Beat eggs and sugar and vanilla.

  • Slowly stir in the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and coconut.
  • Pour the batter into a non stick pie pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until top in golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the centre of the pie comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or chilled with raspberries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this pie. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Grate the lemon zest finely. This will help to release the oils and flavor from the zest.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The pie is done when the center is just set. If you overcook the pie, the filling will become tough and rubbery.
  • Chill the pie before serving. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This coconut lemon pie is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy coconut filling pairs perfectly with the tangy lemon curd, and the graham cracker crust adds a delicious crunch. Follow these tips to make sure your coconut lemon pie turns out perfect every time.
