CREAM PIE (CHOCOLATE, COCONUT, AND BANANA VARIATIONS)



Cream Pie (Chocolate, Coconut, and Banana Variations) image

Hands down, the BEST cream pie recipe I've ever tasted! It was passed down from my mom, who got it from a neighbour while living briefly in Los Angeles way back in 1969. The chocolate variation has been the universal birthday 'cake' in my family for almost as long as I can remember. I've adapted it to be more microwave friendly and even less time-consuming than the original. (Cooking time is cooling time) In case you don't have a microwave or just want to try this on the stovetop, see my cousin CrystalB's Recipe#108268 for the method.

BANANA CREAM PIE WITH COCONUT CRUST



Banana Cream Pie with Coconut Crust image

Play up the tropical flavor of banana cream pie with this easy press-in crust that uses coconut instead of graham crackers. Bonus: It's gluten-free.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h40m

Yield 8 to 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups (8 ounces) sweetened, shredded coconut
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray
2 firm, ripe bananas
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch kosher salt
4 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the crust: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until it begins to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Toss and continue to bake, tossing very frequently, until all of the coconut is evenly golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Whisk the egg white, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until combined. Fold in the coconut. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray and press in the mixture, forming a 1/4-inch crust around the bottom and sides. Bake until toasted and brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes.
  • For the filling: Peel the bananas and slice crosswise into thin rounds. Set aside while you make the custard.
  • Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt together in a medium saucepan. Vigorously whisk in the yolks, milk and vanilla until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and simmer, about 4 minutes. Once the mixture is simmering, continue to cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and pour a third of the custard over the coconut crust. Arrange the banana slices over the custard in an even layer and top with the remaining custard. Chill for 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • For the topping: Beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it just starts to thicken. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, then spoon onto the pie to cover the custard. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.

1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup toasted coconut chips, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch pie plate with butter to grease.
  • In a medium bowl, stir to combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt, then press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 12 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the pie: Whisk the granulated sugar and flour together in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, coconut extract and vanilla extract. Whisking occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then temper the egg yolks: carefully remove a cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk in the beaten eggs yolks. Add the yolk mixture to the milk and then add the butter. Remove from the heat and fold in the bananas, then transfer the pie filling to the cooled graham cracker crust.

BANANA COCONUT CREAM PIE



Banana Coconut Cream Pie image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Rum     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Banana     Coconut     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the shell:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
a 3 1/2-ounce can (about 1 1/3 cups) sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1 large egg, beaten lightly
raw rice for weighting the shell
For the filling:
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large eggs
2 cups milk, scalded
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons Malibu or other coconut-flavored rum
about 5 to 6 bananas
1/3 cup apple jelly
1 cup well-chilled heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the shell:
  • In a food processor or bowl combine well the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon of the coconut, reserving the remaining 1 tablespoon for garnish, and the egg, stirring until the mixture forms a dough. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface several times to blend it well and press it onto the bottom and up the side of an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill the shell for 30 minutes, line it with foil, and fill the foil with the rice. Bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 375°F. oven for 10 minutes, remove the rice and foil carefully, and bake the shell for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until it is golden. Let the shell cool completely in the pan or a rack.
  • Make the filling:
  • In a heavy saucepan whisk together the sugar, the cornstarch, and the eggs, add the milk in a slow stream, whisking, and bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly. Simmer the pastry cream, whisking, for 2 minutes, transfer it to a bowl, and stir in the coconut extract, the vanilla, and the Malibu rum. Chill the pastry cream, its surface covered with plastic wrap, for 4 hours, or until it is cold. The pastry cream may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Slice thin on the diagonal enough of the bananas (about 2 1/2) to cover the bottom of the shell in one layer, arrange the slices in the shell, and cover them with the pastry cream, spreading it evenly. Slice thin on the diagonal the remaining bananas and arrange the slices decoratively over the pastry cream in solid layers, making each layer gradually smaller. In a small saucepan melt the apple jelly over moderate heat, while it is still warm brush it over the banana slices, coating them completely, and chill the tart for 1 hour. The tart may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.
  • Just before serving, in a chilled bowl beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip, and pipe it decoratively around the edge of the tart. Sprinkle the cream with the reserved 1 tablespoon coconut and remove the side of the pan.

COCONUT BANANA CREAM PIE (RAW VEGAN)



Coconut Banana Cream Pie (Raw Vegan) image

This recipe comes from Vanessa Sherwood at gliving.com. However, I simplify this much further and omit the salt, coconut oil, and use dates instead of the agave and it is still amazing! For me its much healthier and easier that way but I'm leaving all the options here for you to decide what if you want them or not. You can substitute dates for the agave nectar - one large medjool (soaked & blended) for each tablesoon agave. I just keep "date paste" standing by for stuff like this. Since your using so much young thai coconut meat you can always use the water for this delicious & energizing drink: Recipe #427475 ENJOY!! (Cook time is set time)

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pkg jell-o instant pudding vanilla 6 oz. ea. or 1 large
2 ripe bananas
1 to 1 1/2 c coconut shredded
1 pre-packaged graham cracker pie crust
or your own homemade pie crust shell
cool whip or home made mirengue
meringue -- 3 egg whites, 3/4 tspn. salt and 6 tblspn. sugar

Steps:

  • 1. If using homemade pie dough crust pre-bake the crust. If using Cool Whip topping you are then done with crust. If using Meringue topping crust will be filled and go back to oven for short time.
  • 2. Prepare the instant pudding per package directions but use 1/3 less milk than called for. (Insures a thicker filling.)
  • 3. Peal and slice the two ripe Bananas and line bottom of crust. Pre-packaged Graham Cracker or your own.
  • 4. Mix Coconut into pudding and spoon pudding into crust atop Bananas. I at times provide another layer of sliced Bananas on top.
  • 5. If using Cool Whip topping place pie back into fridge to chill until ready to serve, Spoon on or spray on the Whipped Topping when ready to serve.
  • 6. For mirengue do it thusly -- In bowl beat egg whites and salt with hand mixer until soft peaks form. Be sure bowl is completely free of oil or fat, or peaks wont be formed.

  • If you don't have coconut extract, you can substitute vanilla extract. However, the coconut extract will give the pie a more authentic flavor.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it before filling it.
  • Be sure to chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
