Time 8h10m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from two 15-ounce cans)
4 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Pie: On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line dough with parchment; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake until edges begin to turn golden and bottom of crust is dry, 30 to 35 minutes.Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake until bottom and sides are golden brown, 10-15 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be made up to a day in advance and covered tightly in foil.)
  • Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in coconut milk; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
  • Whisk egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl until combined. Add coconut-milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to pan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Boil 1 minute more, whisking constantly.
  • Remove from heat; add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each piece melts before adding next. Whisk in coconut. Transfer pan to wire rack; let cool, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Pour custard into crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate until custard is chilled and firm, at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk cream to soft peaks. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; whisk until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over custard. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, uncovered, up to 1 hour. Top with toasted coconut just before serving.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST
5 c sweetened flaked coconut plus more for toasting
7 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 c chocolate chips
CUSTARD
2 large eggs
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c all purpose flour
2 c whole milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
TOPPING
3/4 c heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 inch pie pan with cooking spray. I like to use a clear pyrex dish so that I can keep an eye on the coconut crust so that it doesn't burn.
  • 2. CRUST: Place 3 cups coconut in a bowl. Melt 5 tbsp. butter and stir into the coconut until moistened. Press into bottom and up the sides of pie plate. Bake until deep golden brown. About 25-30 minutes. Check often, if edges are browning quicker than the bottom cover edges with strips of foil or a crust protecter.
  • 3. When crust is done, remove from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust and let stand 5 minutes, or until shiny. Gently spread chocolate over bottom of crust. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  • 4. CUSTARD: Whisk eggs,sugar,flour and vanilla until smooth.
  • 5. Warm milk in a heavy bottom saucepan until almost simmering over medium heat.
  • 6. Whisking constantly, slowly pour hot milk into egg mixture. Return milk mixture to pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil and thickens enough to coat back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • 7. Stir in remaining 2 cups of coconut and 2 tbsp. butter, let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour custard into cooled crust. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing against surface of custard, and chill completely, about 2 hours.
  • 8. TOPPING: 30 minutes before serving, Beat cream until stiff peaks form. Spread over custard and chill. Garnish with toasted coconut before serving.

Tips:

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer flavor and texture.
  • Chill the pie crust and filling before baking for a flakier crust and a less runny filling.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Top the pie with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or both for an extra special touch.

Conclusion:

This classic coconut cream pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. With its creamy, coconutty filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this double coconut cream pie a try.
