Time 8h10m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from two 15-ounce cans)
4 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Pie: On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line dough with parchment; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake until edges begin to turn golden and bottom of crust is dry, 30 to 35 minutes.Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake until bottom and sides are golden brown, 10-15 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be made up to a day in advance and covered tightly in foil.)
  • Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in coconut milk; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
  • Whisk egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl until combined. Add coconut-milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to pan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Boil 1 minute more, whisking constantly.
  • Remove from heat; add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each piece melts before adding next. Whisk in coconut. Transfer pan to wire rack; let cool, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Pour custard into crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate until custard is chilled and firm, at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk cream to soft peaks. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; whisk until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over custard. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, uncovered, up to 1 hour. Top with toasted coconut just before serving.

This pie was not good at all. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

This pie was very good, but it was not as good as I expected. The crust was a little too thick and the filling was a little too sweet.

This is the creamiest, most coconut-y pie I have ever tasted! The filling is smooth and flavorful, and the crust is buttery and flaky. I will definitely be making this pie again and again.
