COCONUT CREAM MERINGUE PIE
This is a pie that was created for our daughter's birthday. She loved her grandmother's coconut cream pie. We did not have the exact recipe so we came up with this. It could take up to 30 minutes for the custard to get thick and come to a boil.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Stir half-and-half, coconut milk, eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a saucepan; stirring constantly, slowly bring to a boil over low heat and cook until thick, about 30 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; fold 3/4 cup coconut into the mixture with the vanilla extract. Pour the coconut mixture into the baked pie crust.
- Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add cream of tartar and 6 tablespoons white sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Spread egg white mixture over the pie. Sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut over the pie.
- Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool until completely cooled to the touch, about 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut margarine and butter into small pieces and add to bowl. Working quickly using a knife or pastry blender, cut flour and fat together until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle water over surface, mixing it quickly just until dough forms a smooth ball. Flatten dough into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll one piece chilled dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan (refrigerate the other piece of pastry for another occasion). Fold over edges and pinch all around. Line pastry with parchment paper and weigh it down with dried beans or pebbles. Blind-bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove paper and weights. Return crust to oven to bake for 5 more minutes or until light golden-brown.
- Make the filling: In a bowl that will fit over a pan of boiling water (or in a double boiler), combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Heat milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until small bubbles appear at the edges. Using a whisk to stir, pour scalded milk into flour mixture and cook over medium heat until it thickens, 3-4 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and add 1/2 cup hot custard mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into custard (still on the stove top). Blend in butter and vanilla. Cook 6 minutes more. Remove from heat. Fold in 1 cup coconut.
- Spoon custard filling into the cooked piecrust. Smooth it out evenly. Chill thoroughly, until set.
- In a large bowl, whip egg whites until stiff. Add superfine sugar, pinch of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar and continue to whip for 2 minutes until glossy and stiff peaks are formed.
- Spread meringue over filling. Torch with kitchen blow torch or broil until meringue is lightly browned.
Tips:
- Make sure your pie crust is completely cooled before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh coconut cream for the best flavor. You can find coconut cream in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue with a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
- This pie is best served chilled. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
