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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

30 chocolate wafer cookies, broken into pieces
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH CHOCOLATE-PAINTED CRUST



Coconut Cream Pie with Chocolate-Painted Crust image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

9-inch Plain and Perfect Pie Crust, prebaked and cooled, recipe follows
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 1/2 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
1/2 cup canned cream of coconut (recommended: Coco Lopez)
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 egg yolks
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/8 cup chilled heavy cream
3/4 cup flaked or shredded coconut
4 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
12 ounces (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup ice water (strain out the ice just before using)
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In the top half of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, stir the chocolate until melted. Using a pastry brush, brush the baked pie shell up to the rim with the melted chocolate. Set aside to cool and harden at room temperature or, uncovered, in the refrigerator. In a large saucepan, bring the milk, cream of coconut, and vanilla bean to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow and fluffy. With the mixer running at low speed, mix in the cornstarch, then gradually pour in the hot milk mixture.
  • Strain the mixture back into the saucepan to smooth it and remove the vanilla bean. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and stir in the butter. Half-fill a large bowl with ice water. Rest the bowl containing the custard in the ice water and let cool, stirring frequently to cool the mixture. When the custard is cool, whip the cream until stiff. Fold the whipped cream and coconut into the custard. Pour the mixture into the chocolate-coated pie shell and smooth the top. Refrigerate uncovered at least 2 hours. (Or refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 24 hours.) Serve cold.
  • In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the flour, salt, and sugar for 1 minute. Add the butter and mix just until you have a crumbly, sandy mixture. You should still be able to see the pieces of butter. In a small bowl, stir the water and vinegar together. With the mixer running at medium speed, drizzle in the water-vinegar mixture and mix just until a dough forms. You should still see small bits of butter.
  • Turn out onto a work surface, divide the dough in 1/2, and shape into 2 round, flat disks. Wrap separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before using. (Or, refrigerate up to 48 hours or freeze up to 1 month before using. If frozen, let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before rolling out.) When the time comes to roll out the dough, let the dough warm up for a few minutes at room temperature. Dust a work surface with just a few tablespoons of flour and keep some extra flour at hand. If you like, you can roll out the dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper (flouring the bottom sheet and the top of the dough before rolling), which makes it much easier to transfer to the pan later on. However, you won't be able to check the progress of the dough as easily. It's entirely up to you.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and start rolling outward from the center with quick, light strokes. Don't worry if the edges split a bit; concentrate on getting a good circle going from the center. Lift up and rotate the dough 1/4 turn every minute or so to help ensure even rolling. The dough should feel smooth and soft; some say it should feel like the inside of your forearm. If it gets sticky, sprinkle on a bit more flour, but don't do this more than 2 or 3 times; the dough will absorb too much flour. Instead, put it back in refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm the butter up. Keep rolling until the circle is at least 2 inches larger than your pan (for example, 11 inches wide for a 9-inch pie pan), or 3 inches larger for deep-dish pies.
  • Set your pie or tart pan nearby. We always use heavy aluminum pans, because glass pans seem to bake the crust too fast. However, we know that the advantage of glass is that you can easily check the color of the crust. Again, it's up to you. Either choice will work.
  • To transfer the crust to the pan, we find it easiest to roll a finished crust up onto the rolling pin, then gently unroll it in the pan. Or, you can fold it gently in quarters, lift it up, position the center point on the center of the pan, and unfold it into the pan. If using waxed paper, peel off the top layer, turn the crust gently into the pan, and peel off the remaining paper. Make sure that the dough is allowed to settle completely into the pan.
  • Don't stretch and press the dough into the corners; stretched dough will likely shrink back when you bake it. Instead, lift the edges of the crust to let it settle down into the corners. If the dough tears a bit, don't be concerned; we'll patch it in a minute. Using scissors or a sharp knife, trim the dough to within 3/4-inch of the rim. Use any extra scraps to patch the crust, pressing with your fingers (wet them if necessary) or set aside.
  • Working around the rim, turn the crust under itself (not under the rim of the pan) to make a thick edge, pressing it firmly against the pan to reduce shrinkage. To decorate the rim, just press it all around with the back of a fork. For a slightly more advanced look, press the thumb and forefinger of one hand together. Use them to gently push the thick dough rim outward, while pushing inward with the forefinger of the other hand, so that they intersect in a "V" with the dough in between. Repeat all around the rim to make a wavy edge. Chill 20 minutes before baking.
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line the inside of the chilled crust with aluminum foil (don't turn down over the rim, but leave the extra sticking up so that you have something to hold on to). Fill the foil all the way up to the top of the shell with pie weights, rice, or dried beans. (Pie weights are reusable metal or ceramic pellets that hold the crust in place as it bakes. You can buy them at cooking supply stores.) Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until dry and beginning to turn "blond". Lift the foil and weights out of the shell and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, checking frequently to prevent overbaking, until medium brown.

MALIBU RUM COCONUT CREAM CHOCOLATE PIE



Malibu Rum Coconut Cream Chocolate Pie image

Even people who say they don't like coconut love this pie. The rum takes the pie to a whole new level.

Provided by Member 610488

Categories     Pie

Time 1h

Yield 1 9 inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

30 chocolate cookies (Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers) or 10 chocolate graham crackers (Honey maid recommended)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons coconut rum (Malibu Rum)
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Place the chocolate wafers in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse until ground into evenly sized crumbs or place them in zip-top bag and pulverize them with a rolling pin or meat mallet until finely crushed. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
  • Place the crumbs in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened (if using a food processor, drizzle the butter through the feed tube while pulsing).
  • Transfer the buttered crumbs to a 9-inch pie plate and use your fingertips or the back of a spoon to press the mixture evenly into the pie plate, spreading it up the sides but not over the rim.
  • Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the sides of the crust feel firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  • Place the milk, cream and vanilla bean in a 4-quart saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until almost about to simmer (Do not let it boil). Remove from the heat and let the vanilla bean steep in the milk for 15 minutes.
  • Place the egg yolks, sugar, salt and cornstarch in a medium mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until well blended (1 minute).
  • Remove the vanilla bean from milk. Use a knife to scrape out as many seeds as possible and add them to the milk. Swirl the pod in the milk to remove any remaining seeds. Discard the pod or save for another use.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups toasted coconut and place the pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat.
  • Ladle out about 1/2 cup of the hot milk and whisk it into the egg mixture. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot of milk, whisking steadily to keep the eggs from curdling.
  • Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly but not furiously. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook while whisking constantly (make sure to get the sides and edges) until the mixture is very thick (2-3 minutes). Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir until melted then stir in the coconut rum.
  • Let the filling cool to lukewarm (about 15 minutes), then pour into the cooled pie shell. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface (to keep a skin from forming). Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Just before serving, make the whipped cream topping. Place the cream and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or, if using a whisk or hand-held mixer, put it in a deep mixing bowl.
  • Beat on medium speed until frothy. Sprinkle in the confectioners' sugar and beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form (when the whisk is lifted the cream will form a point that doesn't droop).
  • Mound the whipped cream in the center of the chilled pie. Use the back of a large spoon or an offset metal spatula to spread it out to the edge and give it a few decorative swirls. Sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut and serve.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT CREAM PIE



Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie image

This is a variation of my old fashioned cream pie that I came up with one day when I asked my husband if he wanted a coconut pie or a chocolate pie. He said he wanted both. So, I mixed them togther.

Provided by Sherry Wilkins

Categories     Chocolate

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pie shell, baked
FOR PIE FILLING:
1 c sugar
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/4 c corn starch
1/2 tsp salt
2 c milk ( whole milk, 2% or evaporated)
3 egg yolks
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2-1 c coconut (per preference)
FOR MERINGUE:
3 egg whites
6 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/8 tsp cream of tatar (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. For Pie Filling: In a medium sized saucepan combine the sugar, cocoa powder, corn starch, salt, milk and egg yolks. BEFORE turning on the burner, whisk all the ingredients together until well mixed. The corn starch will not dissolve in hot liquids so it is VERY important to stir until it has all dissolvedbefore turning on the burner.
  • 2. Cook mixture on medium to medium high heat whisking constantly until pudding starts to thicken. Remove from heat.
  • 3. Stir in butter, vanilla and coconut. Mix thoroughly.
  • 4. Pour into prepared pie crust.
  • 5. For Meringue: In a clean mixer bowl, add the egg whites and vanilla. On high speed, whip until whites start to to whip up. Slowly and a little at a time, add the powdered sugar and cream of tartar. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • 6. Spoon meringue on top of the pie filling. Bake at 325 degrees until meringue reaches the desired browness.
  • 7. Tips: Make sure your mixing bowl is completely clean and free of oil. Meringue will not whip if there is oil residue in the bowl. To keep meringue from shrinking, make sure it touches all around the edge of the pie crust.

Tips:

  • For a richer, creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the filling for a classic chocolate-vanilla flavor combination.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
  • If you don't have chocolate graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing regular graham crackers in a food processor.
  • To make a gluten-free pie crust, use gluten-free graham crackers or make your own crust using almond flour or coconut flour.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
  • When serving, top the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

This chocolate coconut cream pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate filling, creamy coconut topping, and graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
