Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 prepared 8 inch pastry shell, baked and cooled
⅓ cup cold milk
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
4 egg yolks
5 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup brandy
2 tablespoons apricot jam, melted
1 ¾ cups shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk and set it aside to soften.
  • Combine the egg yolks and 5 tablespoons sugar in a heat-proof mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or a whisk until the mixture is thick and lemon-colored. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove and cook, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. The mixture should feel hot to the touch and have reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Mix in the gelatin and milk and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Combine the egg whites, cream of tartar, and 1/3 cup sugar in a heat-proof mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture slightly, just to break up the egg whites. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove. Heat the mixture, whisking constantly, until the egg white mixture is hot to the touch and has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer. Immediately remove the bowl from the heat and whip with an electric mixer until the meringue forms soft peaks.
  • Fold the meringue into the custard mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Brush the bottom and sides of the baked pastry shell with melted apricot jam.
  • Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the brandy and continue to whip until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the custard and spoon it into the pie shell. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle coconut over the pie before serving.

The filling was a bit runny for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes longer.

I found the crust to be a bit dry. I would recommend adding more butter or shortening to the recipe.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.
