Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup whole milk
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened flaked coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • For the pie crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 4 to 5 times until the dough forms a ball. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.)
  • Transfer the dough to a work surface. Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll the dough on a lightly-floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift the sides of the parchment to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the milk and the cornstarch in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined. Stir together the remaining 3/4 cup milk, the half-and-half, sugar and kosher salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until barely simmering. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the hot milk and cream into the egg yolks while continuing to whisk. Pour the custard back into the pan and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is very thick and smooth, about 5 minutes; it will be the consistency of a pudding. (If the filling has scrambled a bit, or doesn't look smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl before adding the coconut.) Stir in the butter until melted, then stir in the vanilla and shredded coconut. Spread the filling into the cooled pie crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pie and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • For the meringue: Add the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and kosher salt to the bowl of a stand mixture fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to combine. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture feels very hot to the touch. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and add the vanilla. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the pie and gently mound the meringue on top of the filling. Use an offset spatula to completely cover the filling and meet the crust all around the edges. (This will completely seal in the filling and help prevent weeping.) Use the offset spatula to form swirls and peaks in the meringue. Toast the meringue using a kitchen torch or broil in the oven until golden brown, keeping an eye on the meringue if broiling. Sprinkle all over with toasted coconut and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 7h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 to 12 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
5 extra-large egg yolks
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups whole milk, scalded
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
2 large bananas, sliced
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Milk chocolate, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into an 11-inch false-bottom tart pan, making sure the sides and the bottom of the crust are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the scalded milk until the mixture is combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick. Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur and coffee powder and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled tart pan and smooth the top. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate filling and chill for 6 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the chocolate and arrange the banana slices in concentric circles on top of the filling.
  • Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the cream forms firm peaks. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas and gently spread the cream with a spatula to cover the pie, leaving a border of bananas visible at the outside edge. For a garnish, shave curls of milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream. Remove the pie from the pan, place it on a cake plate and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits, cream, and eggs will give your cream pie the best flavor.
  • Make sure your pie crust is fully baked: A soggy bottom crust will ruin your cream pie. Bake the crust for the full amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the pastry cream: Overcooked pastry cream will be thick and rubbery. Remove it from the heat as soon as it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Chill the cream pie before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • Garnish the pie with fresh fruit or whipped cream: This will add a touch of elegance and make your pie even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Cream pies are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of flavors to choose from, there's sure to be a cream pie that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give one of these recipes a try.
