Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 325ºF.
- 2. Mix cookie crumbs, 2/3 cup of the coconut and butter in medium bowl until well blended. Press mixture evenly onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch pie plate. Bake 10 minutes or until golden. Cool. Arrange banana slices on crust.
- 3. Pour cold milk into large bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 cup coconut. Spoon over banana slices in crust. Gently stir pineapple into whipped topping. Spread over pudding mixture. Sprinkle with toasted coconut, if desired. Chill for about 4 hours or until set.
- 4. **Note: I often use real whipping cream, whipped with a couple of tablespoons of fine baking sugar, 1 tsp. flavoring, vanilla, or whatever suits your mood. I add a package of 'Whip it" or any of the stabilizers you can purchase in baking aisle to hold whipped cream together longer. You can use low fat products, sugar free, etc. or whatever dietary needs you have as well as making it as written. It will still be creamy and delicious!
- 5. For toasting coconut, place a skillet, dry, over medium heat. Add desired amount of coconut. Allow to slowly toast to a golden color, stirring often, until coconut is evenly toasted. Remove from heat and allow to cool before using to top pie. Put any left over into a sealed container and refrigerate to use as desired later.
COCONUT CREAM PIE
Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 400˚. Roll the pie dough into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Tuck the edges of the crust under to be even with the edge of the pie plate and crimp the edges as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 1 hour (or freezer for 30 minutes). Line the inside of the crust with parchment paper, then fill with baking weights or dried beans. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until the edges of the crust are very lightly golden. Remove the pie weights and parchment paper, and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork, 6 to 8 times. Return to the oven and bake until the whole crust is golden brown all over, 12 to 14 minutes longer. Let cool to room temperature.
- For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the coconut milk and whole milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture boils, 8 to 12 minutes. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from the heat.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl. While whisking, gradually add 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks and whisk until well combined. Gradually add this yolk mixture back into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan. Return to medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture just returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the shredded coconut, butter, and vanilla extract, until the butter is completely melted. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and press plastic wrap directly to the surface. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Pour coconut filling into the prepared pie shell. Press the plastic wrap directly onto the surface and chill until set, about 8 hours.
- For the topping: Whisk together the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chilled pie. Garnish with toasted coconut chips, if you like.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk in both the coconut cream pie filling and the coconut cookie crust.
- If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, and 1/2 cup of milk in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes.
- To make sure the coconut cream pie sets properly, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust instead of making your own coconut cookie crust.
- Garnish the coconut cream pie with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or fresh fruit before serving.
