OLD-FASHIONED COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake your pie crust
• Separate the eggs and put the egg whites in the refrigerator for the meringue
• Beat egg yolks in a small bowl.
• In a 2 quart pot, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in the milk combining well.
• Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. Let boil for 1 minute. *Stir the mixture continuously! It burns quickly.*
• Once the filling has boiled for one minute, slowly stir ¾ of the hot mixture into your well-beaten egg yolks. Then immediately stir the egg mixture back into the pot with the rest of your pie filling.
• Return the pie filling to a boil over medium heat. Let boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.
• Add butter, coconut, and vanilla to the pot and combine well.
• Pour your filling into your prepared pie crust.
• Press parchment paper or plastic wrap onto the top of the pie. This will prevent a skin from forming on the pie.
• Let the pie cool on a cooling rack for a couple of hours. This allows the pie to set well. You can serve the pie warm but the filling will be runnier than a cold set pie.
• ORCover as above and let cool on the counter for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pie filling to set well.
• Remove cover and serve with whipped topping.
• Once you have your pie filling poured into the crust, beat the egg whites until fluffy.
• Gradually add 5 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites while continuously beating on high speed of your mixer or as fast as you can by hand. By hand takes forever and isn't as efficient - trust me.
• Once stiff peaks form, spread the meringue over the top of your pie filling being careful to seal it to the edges.
• Sprinkle the top with a little coconut. Cook under your oven broiler until browned to your liking. **It will burn quickly so watch closely.**
• Let the pie sit on the counter to set for a couple of hours and serve warm. A warm pie filling will be runnier than a cold set pie.
• ORLet sit on the counter for an hour then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pie filling is set well.
• Serve and enjoy!
• Put 1 cup heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Using the whisk attachment on your mixer, whip at the highest speed of your electric mixer until the cream begins to stiffen.
• Gradually add 3 Tablespoons sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Store in refrigerator until ready to use. I put mine in a glass jar or bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
• Whip the egg whites on high speed of an electric mixer using your whisk attachment until fluffy.
• Reduce speed to low and slowly add the sugar one tablespoon at a time until all 5 Tablespoons are added.
• Beat on low until the sugar is fully incorporated into the eggs (the graininess will be gone). Return mixer to highest speed and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
• Spread the meringue over the freshly cooked pie and brown under your broiler.Remember to watch it carefully, the meringue will brown and burn before you know it.

Steps:

• Measure the 398-ml can of coconut milk with the table cream to make 3 cups, then place in a large microwave-safe bowl (I use my 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup for this).
• Add in the eggs and whisk until completely combined with the milk.
• Add in sugar, flour, salt, vanilla and coconut extract (if using) whisk vigorously to combine.
• Place in microwave and cook on HIGH removing about every couple of minutes to whisk (you must whisk vigorously every time removing as the mixture tends to thicken more around the edges of the bowl so it must be blended all together) cook until thickened and smooth, in my microwave it takes about 8 minutes to thicken.
• Pour the filling into baked cooled pie crust; cool for 20 minutes on the counter then place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the cooked filling.
• Refrigerate for 6 hours or until very firm (can leave in the fridge for up to 24 hours).
• In a large well-chilled bowl beat 1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream until just thickened, then add in 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar and continue beating until quite stiff (you may refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to use).
• After pie is cooled remove plastic wrap and top with whipped cream, sprinkle cooled toasted coconut over the whipped cream, serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
• OPTIONAL; for toasting coconut; set oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place about 1/2 cup coconut on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown stirring occasionally (about 4-5 minutes, watch closely do not burn as the coconut browns quickly!).
• Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• For filling combine half-and-half and butter in saucepan. Bring just to boil over medium heat.
• In medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla and salt until cornstarch is completely dissolved and mixture is well-blended.
• Gradually add to mixture in saucepan, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute or until thickened.
• Add marshmallows and 3/4 cup of the coconut. Cook and stir until marshmallows melt and mixture is well-blended.
• Pour into pie shells and refrigerate at least 2 to 4 hours.
• To make the whip cream topping, whip chilled whipping cream and for best results, the bowl and beaters should be chilled in the freezer. (This allows the cream to reach it's full volume and develop those meringue like peaks).
• Slowly add powdered sugar and then vanilla extract, until cream hold stiff and spread half the meringue over each pie to edge of crust.
• Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of the remaining coconut on each pie or toasted coconut if you like, and refrigerate until served.
• To toast the coconut: heat oven to 350°F Spread coconut in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
• FOR VARIATIONS: Here are other ideas: you can also change the topping with meringue made with egg whites and marshmallow cream instead of the whipping cream topping.
• And for the filling, you can also add 3 oz. cream cheese instead of the marshmallows, if you like. Just before you remove the mixture from the stove, stir in the softened cream cheese, mix well, and enjoy it with a good cup of fresh coffee.
