Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 teaspoon gelatin
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure coconut extract
Pinch of coarse salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Chocolate Macaroon Crust
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 cup toasted shaved coconut, or as desired, for garnish

Steps:

In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes. In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, sugar, gelatin mixture, coconut extract, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with cornstarch until combined.
Slowly whisk one-fourth of the hot-milk mixture into egg yolks; return to saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture returns to a boil, about 1 minute. Stir in shredded coconut. Transfer to a large bowl; let stand 15 minutes.
Pour filling into the prepared crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours, and up to overnight. Spread whipped cream on top; garnish with toasted coconut, if desired.

1 1/3 cups macaroons, crumbled (can do in food processor)
1/2 cup margarine, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pie crust.
Make sure your butter is cold. This will help to keep the pie crust flaky.
Work quickly. The longer you work the dough, the more gluten will develop and the tougher your pie crust will be.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the pie crust from shrinking.
Bake the pie crust until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
