Decadent Coconut Cream Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

  • For the Pie Crust:
  • Your favorite pie crust recipe (enough for one 9-inch pie)
  • For the Toasted Coconut Topping:
  • 1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
  • For the Coconut Custard:
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Additional:
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
  • Follow the blind-baking instructions of your pie crust recipe to prepare a 9-inch pie shell. Let it cool.
  1. Toast the Coconut for Topping:
  • Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C).
  • Spread 1/2 cup of flaked sweetened coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully until the coconut begins to turn golden brown.
  • Remove and set aside to cool.
  1. Make the Coconut Custard:
  • In a liquid measuring cup, combine coconut milk and half-and-half. Add egg yolks and whisk together. Set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch over medium-low heat.
  • Whisk the egg and milk mixture again, then gradually add it to the saucepan, whisking constantly.
  • Bring the custard mixture to a boil. Keep stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon for one minute.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, 1 1/2 cups of flaked sweetened coconut, vanilla extract, and salt.
  1. Assemble the Pie:
  • Pour the coconut custard into the prepared pie crust.
  • Cover lightly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 30-45 minutes.
  1. Final Touches:
  • Once the pie is set, spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the coconut custard.
  • Refrigerate the pie until you’re ready to serve.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top of the whipped cream for a delightful crunch and extra coconut flavor.

Enjoy your homemade Decadent Coconut Cream Pie, a creamy, dreamy dessert with a delightful combination of textures and rich coconut flavor!
