Time 6h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 unbaked flaky Pie Crust (what I used) or All Butter Pie Crust*
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) can full fat coconut milk*
1 cup (240ml) half-and-half
2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
3 Tablespoons (20g) confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar*
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional for garnish: unsweetened coconut shavings, coconut chips, or sweetened shredded coconut*

Steps:

  • I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin making coconut cream pie. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step).
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fully blind bake the pie crust. (Follow how to blind bake pie crust instructions through step 10. I skip the optional dough strip trick in step 4, though that trick guarantees thick pie crust edges.) Cool pie crust completely. You can do this up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch together. Set aside. Whisk the coconut milk, half-and-half, granulated sugar, and salt together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisking occasionally, bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then reduce temperature to medium-low heat. Once boiling, remove about 1/2 cup of the mixture and, in a slow and steady stream, whisk into the egg yolk and cornstarch mixture. Keep those egg yolks moving so they don't scramble. In a slow and steady stream, pour and whisk the egg yolk mixture into the pot.
  • The pudding will immediately begin to bubble and thicken. Stand back and use caution as the bubbles may burst. Whisk and cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut, butter, vanilla, and coconut extract (if using).
  • Pour warm filling into cooled pie crust. Cover tightly with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding (to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until chilled and thickened. Pie may be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks and are the perfect consistency for topping and piping on desserts.
  • Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top. I used Ateco 849 piping tip to pipe. Garnish with extra coconut, if desired. Chill the pie uncovered up to a few hours or you can serve it immediately.
  • Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

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.

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!

Tips:

  • Use full-fat coconut milk. This will give your pie a richer, creamier flavor and texture.
  • Chill the coconut cream before whipping it. This will help it whip up thicker and faster.
  • Don't overwhip the coconut cream. Overwhipping can cause it to become grainy.
  • Use a deep-dish pie crust. This will prevent the filling from spilling over.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the pie to set properly.
