COCONUT CREAM MERINGUE PIE



Coconut Cream Meringue Pie image

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.

Provided by Mad Butcher

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Custard and Cream Pie Recipes     Meringue Pie Recipes

Time 5h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 ½ cups coconut milk
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
3 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup flaked coconut

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.

COCONUT CREAM PIE



Coconut Cream Pie image

This classic cream pie is made even more amazing with a gorgeous meringue and perfectly creamy coconut custard filling. One of the best pie's you'll ever have!

Provided by Erin Indahl-Fink

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 9" pie shell (store bought or homemade)
6 Tbsp. corn starch
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sweetened shredded coconut
3 egg whites, room temperature
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1 small (7 oz.) container, marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Bake pie shell according to package directions. Prick with a fork on the bottom. Add pie weights or beans to the bottom of the crust to ensure it doesn't puff up during baking. Let cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the corn starch, sugar and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk. Cook over medium heat, constantly whisking to ensure the milk doesn't scorch or burn. Milk mixture will begin to thicken. When it starts to bubble, stir a little of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, then stir the yolks into the remaining hot mixture. Continue to whisk the hot mixture for one minute more then promptly remove from the heat. Whisk in the melted butter, vanilla and coconut. Pour custard into the cooled pie shell. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
  • For the meringue, pour the room temperature egg whites into a mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Begin whisking at medium speed and add the cream of tartar. Whisk for 3-5 minute or until stiff peaks form. Add the container of marshmallow cream, and whisk for 2-3 minutes more for stiff peaks. Meringue will be firm. Add the meringue to the chilled custard pie, and seal the meringue to the pie crust so it doesn't shrink while baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. (I don't recommend making peaks in the meringue, as these tend to burn before the rest of the meringue cooks.) Chill pie until ready to serve. Enjoy!

COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH WHIPPED CREAM



Coconut Cream Pie with Whipped Cream image

An American classic with an original topping; fluffy whipped cream replaces traditional meringue on this delicious pie.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 recipe Pate Brisee
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Fresh Coconut Curls
1 large whole egg, lightly beaten, plus 4 large egg yolks
3 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Chocolate Curls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch round, a bit less than 1/4 inch thick. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, trim crust to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold under overhang so it extends slightly beyond edge of pie plate. Crimp edge as desired. Prick dough all over with a fork. Brush rim of dough with beaten egg. Chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Line chilled pie shell with a round of parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges of crust just turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove parchment and pie weights. Return crust to oven, and continue baking until golden all over 15 to 20 minutes more. Place pie shell on a wire rack to cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Place Coconut Curls on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Prepare an ice bath; set aside. In a bowl, lightly whisk egg yolks; set aside. In a saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Bring to a simmer (do not boil), and cook, whisking constantly, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Whisk a quarter of hot-milk mixture into egg yolks; whisk in remaining milk mixture. Strain into a clean saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until custard is thick and bubbles appear in center, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface to prevent a skin from forming. Set in ice bath until completely chilled, 30 to 35 minutes. (Filling can be kept in refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 day.)
  • Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch the water), or in the microwave. Stir until smooth, and set aside until cool to touch, stirring occasionally.
  • Using a pastry brush, coat inside of cooled crust with melted chocolate. Place in refrigerator or freezer until firm to touch, about 10 minutes.
  • Fill crust with coconut custard, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, combine cream and confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Using a small offset spatula, spread whipped cream on top of custard. Refrigerate pie at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with toasted Coconut Curls and Chocolate Curls just before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh coconut cream. You can find it in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
  • If you don't have coconut cream, you can use a combination of heavy cream and coconut milk.
  • Be sure to chill the pie crust and filling before assembling the pie. This will help the pie set properly.
  • When making the meringue, be sure to beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help the meringue hold its shape.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue under the broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.

Conclusion:

Coconut cream pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, coconutty filling and fluffy meringue topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this coconut cream pie recipe a try.
