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!

My husband and I grow 500 acres of wheat on the farm his family homesteaded in 1889. I grind my own flour and love to use it in this recipe. The easy, pat-in crust has a rich grain flavor. It's irresistible filled with old-fashioned coconut cream and topped with a fluffy meringue. -Roberta Foster, Kingfisher, Oklahoma

COCONUT CREAM PIE



Coconut Cream Pie image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2010 article about Valerie Confections, a Los Angeles bakery that specializes in vintage desserts with a California provenance. This spectacular pie is an adaptation of one that was served at Bullock's Wilshire, a luxury department store in Los Angeles, popular in the '20s, '30s and '40s, that had a number of celebrity clients including Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Clark Gable.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 3h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup shortening, chilled, cut into pieces
1/3 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 to 5 tablespoons ice water
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
3 tablespoons cream of coconut
1 cup sweetened, shredded coconut or unsweetened coconut flakes
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the crust: Sift flour, sugar and salt together. Using a food processor or pastry cutter, blend butter and shortening into the flour mixture until pea-sized pieces form. Slowly add the water until the dough just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, flatten into a disk, and refrigerate for at least one hour. Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface until it is large enough to create a 1-inch overhang on a 9-inch pie pan. Using a fork, poke several holes along the base of the crust. Finish the rim of the crust to your liking and chill until firm, 30 minutes. Line with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake until the edges are pale golden and the crust will hold its shape, 25-30 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment and weights and bake until the crust is dry and pale golden, 5-10 more minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • Make the filling: Decrease oven temperature to 325 degrees. Pour evaporated milk, cream and sugar into a saucepan. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, then immediately remove from heat. Using a whisk attachment on an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until they appear pale and fluffy. Add cornstarch and butter; continue beating until they are fully incorporated. Add vanilla, coconut extract and cream of coconut. Set the mixer on a low speed and slowly add the warm cream mixture to the egg mixture. Pour the filling back into the saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard has thickened to the consistency of runny yogurt. Pour coconut filling into the baked pie shell and bake until the edges are barely puffed and the center wobbles like Jell-o when you give the pan a shuffle, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely, 2-3 hours
  • Make the topping: Place coconut on baking sheet and toast until light brown, about 7 minutes. Whip cream, sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks.
  • To finish: Place a large mountain of whipped cream in the center of the pie and, using a small offset spatula, create a dome shape. Sprinkle the entire dome with toasted coconut. Refrigerate until ready to serve

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut cream. This will give your pie the best flavor and texture. You can find coconut cream in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
  • Don't overbeat the egg yolks. Overbeating will make them tough. Just beat them until they are light and fluffy.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking and will also give the pie a more even bake.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will also make the pie easier to slice.
  • Garnish the pie with whipped cream and toasted coconut. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.

Conclusion:

Johnny Ray's Coconut Cream Pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut filling, flaky crust, and toasted coconut topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
