FRANGIPANI PIE
An Aussie version of Pineapple Cream Pie, this beautiful dessert pays tribute to the gorgeously aromatic white-&-gold tropical frangipani flower. I love coconut, so I've jazzed up this Golden Circle recipe with coconut milk and shredded coconut...mmmm! I use a simple biscuit crumb crust, but any favourite pastry shell will do. The time for the preparation of the shell is not included.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe fruit. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- To prevent the crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling. Pour blind-baking weights into the crust and par-bake it for 15 minutes at 350°F / 175°C.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will ensure the custard sets properly.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the custard set and prevent the filling from running out.
