DAD'S FAVORITE COCONUT CREAM PIE



Dad's Favorite Coconut Cream Pie image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups crunchy chocolate cookies (without filling)
5 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 3/4 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large egg yolks
1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and set it aside.
  • In a food processor, combine the chocolate cookies with the coconut oil and salt and pulse until the mixture is sandy and starts to clump together. Add the coconut and pulse just a couple more times to get it evenly distributed.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing it up against the sides to give it a 1- to 1 1/2-inch-tall crust. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Let it cool.
  • For the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt and egg yolks. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded coconut and pour into the cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (This can be done up to 2 days in advance; keep covered in the refrigerator.)
  • For the topping: Toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let it cool.
  • With an electric mixer or in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Spread it on the pie, then sprinkle with the toasted coconut flakes. Top with shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When you're ready to take it out of the pan, run a small offset spatula around the edge and carefully remove the sides. Enjoy!

TRULY COCONUTTY CREAM PIE



Truly Coconutty Cream Pie image

I love coconut cream pie, but oftentimes, I feel like the coconut flavor is lost in the vanilla pastry cream filling. This coconut cream pie recipe enhances the coconut flavor and texture by utilizing it throughout the recipe.

Provided by Sobie

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Custard and Cream Pie Recipes     Coconut Pie Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup all-purpose flour
⅜ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
2 tablespoons butter flavored shortening, chilled
1 ½ tablespoons coconut water, or as needed
¾ fluid ounce coconut-flavored rum
1 (18 ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup white sugar, divided
1 cup flaked sweetened coconut, toasted
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
⅓ cup cornstarch
¾ cup whole milk
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons flaked sweetened coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, cold butter, and cold shortening in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the butter and shortening are the size of small peas. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the coconut water and rum 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork to mix. When the mixture can be squeezed into a ball, wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Grease an 8-inch pie pan. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie pan. Trim the edges and fold the dough under itself; crimp the crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Prick the bottom and sides of the pie dough with a fork. Line the dough with parchment paper or aluminum foil and weigh it down with pie weights or dried beans (see Editor's Note). Bake until the edges of the crust are golden and the bottom of the crust is just beginning to color, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven, carefully remove the foil and beans, and set aside.
  • Combine the coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup toasted coconut, and the scraped vanilla bean seeds and pod in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the cornstarch. Whisk the eggs and egg yolk together in a large heat-proof bowl; whisk in the milk and the cornstarch mixture. Gradually pour the hot coconut milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard mixture to the saucepan.
  • Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. The mixture will thicken. Remove the pan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean pod. Whisk in the butter. Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust. Chill the pie for 1 hour.
  • Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill. Whip the cream on high speed until it begins to thicken; gradually add the confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating until stiff. Pipe or spread the cream onto the chilled pie and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut.

Provided by Julie in TX

Categories     Pie

Time 1h

Yield 2 pies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • FILLING.
  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine half& half and butter in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Whisk together sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl until the cornstarch is completely incorporated and the mixture is well blended.
  • Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the half& half mixture while stirring constantly with a wire whisk.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to easily blend the dates and pecans until they resemble a coarse meal. This will save you time and effort, and ensure that the crust is evenly textured.
  • Be sure to press the crust mixture firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent it from crumbling when you slice the pie.
  • Use a high-quality coconut milk for the best flavor. Look for unsweetened coconut milk in cans, and avoid using coconut milk from a carton.
  • Don't overcook the pie filling. Overcooked coconut milk can become thick and rubbery.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This chilly coconut pie is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut filling and crunchy pecan crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this chilly coconut pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
