for the crust:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
10 Tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cubed
3 1/2 Tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
5-8 Tablespoons cold water
for the pie
1 pound 4 ounce can crushed pineapple in juice
1/2 cup white sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, strained
1 Tablespoon fresh orange juice, strained
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2/3 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
for the coconut chantilly cream
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
3 Tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

Steps:

  • For the crust, in the bowl of a food processor pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until mixture is crumbly with some medium-sized pieces of butter still visible. Add the lesser amount of water and pulse until mixture begins to clump together. (Add more water if necessary). Gather dough into a ball, divide in half, and wrap in plastic. Flatten dough into a disks and regrigerate at least 30 minutes. Roll out one section of dough into a cirlcle large enough to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Ease dough into pie plate and refrigerate until filling is ready. For pie filling, drain pineapple, reserving 1 1/3 cups juice. Set pineapple aside. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter until melted and then stir in the pineapple, coconut, orange zest, lemon juice, orange juice, and coconut extract. Cool to room temperature and stir in the macadamia nuts. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out top crust. Place cooled filling in the crust-lined pie plate and carefully apply the top crust. Crimp edges and make several slits in the top of the crust. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until top is golden. For the coconut chantilly cream: Place coconut on a baking sheet and cook for 5 to 9 minutes, stirring well after every 2 minutes, until coconut is evenly browned. Cool completely. In a medium bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream, sugar, and coconut extract on high speed until soft peaks form. Stir in 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut. Serve pie slices topped with dollops of the coconut chantilly cream. Garnish top of pie with remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I actually really enjoyed this pie. The coconut chantilly cream was the perfect complement to the pineapple filling.
