OLD-FASHIONED COCONUT CREAM PIE
After their wedding in a small country church, our daughter Angela and her husband, Lonnie Robertson, were driven to the reception in a horse-drawn wagon-along the same route that Angela's great-grandparents took in the 1800s! Later, the guests raved over luscious desserts like this old-fashioned pie.

Steps:
- For filling combine half-and-half and butter in saucepan. Bring just to boil over medium heat.
- In medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla and salt until cornstarch is completely dissolved and mixture is well-blended.
- Gradually add to mixture in saucepan, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute or until thickened.
- Add marshmallows and 3/4 cup of the coconut. Cook and stir until marshmallows melt and mixture is well-blended.
- Pour into pie shells and refrigerate at least 2 to 4 hours.
- To make the whip cream topping, whip chilled whipping cream and for best results, the bowl and beaters should be chilled in the freezer. (This allows the cream to reach it's full volume and develop those meringue like peaks).
- Slowly add powdered sugar and then vanilla extract, until cream hold stiff and spread half the meringue over each pie to edge of crust.
- Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of the remaining coconut on each pie or toasted coconut if you like, and refrigerate until served.
- To toast the coconut: heat oven to 350°F Spread coconut in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- FOR VARIATIONS: Here are other ideas: you can also change the topping with meringue made with egg whites and marshmallow cream instead of the whipping cream topping.
- And for the filling, you can also add 3 oz. cream cheese instead of the marshmallows, if you like. Just before you remove the mixture from the stove, stir in the softened cream cheese, mix well, and enjoy it with a good cup of fresh coffee.

MY FRIEND'S OLD FASHIONED COCONUT CUSTARD PIE
My good friend & co-worker, Colleen, used to bring this pie to our company pot-lucks. It disappeared like new fallen snow every time, and sometimes caused a scuffle or two...it is that good!! Before she retired she shared the recipe with a few of us. My husband can eat the whole thing in 1 night! On top of that, it is easier...

KITTENCAL'S OLD FASHIONED COCONUT CREAM PIE
The filling is easy to make and is cooked in the microwave so no more burnt saucepan bottoms, of coarse you can still make it on top of the stove in a heavy-bottomed saucepan if so desired --- this recipe was developed using cream of coconut only not coconut cream (the two are different) coconut milk may be found in any major grocery store --- prep time includes chilling time but does not include making the pie crust --- plan ahead the pie filling needs to chill about 6 or more hours before topping with the whipped cream, --- you may use a 14-ounce can of coconut milk instead of a 398-ml can, if you cannot find a 14-ounce can use a size almost close to that amount or use 1-2/3 cups.

Steps:
- Measure the 398-ml can of coconut milk with the table cream to make 3 cups, then place in a large microwave-safe bowl (I use my 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup for this).
- Add in the eggs and whisk until completely combined with the milk.
- Add in sugar, flour, salt, vanilla and coconut extract (if using) whisk vigorously to combine.
- Place in microwave and cook on HIGH removing about every couple of minutes to whisk (you must whisk vigorously every time removing as the mixture tends to thicken more around the edges of the bowl so it must be blended all together) cook until thickened and smooth, in my microwave it takes about 8 minutes to thicken.
- Pour the filling into baked cooled pie crust; cool for 20 minutes on the counter then place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the cooked filling.
- Refrigerate for 6 hours or until very firm (can leave in the fridge for up to 24 hours).
- In a large well-chilled bowl beat 1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream until just thickened, then add in 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar and continue beating until quite stiff (you may refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to use).
- After pie is cooled remove plastic wrap and top with whipped cream, sprinkle cooled toasted coconut over the whipped cream, serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
- OPTIONAL; for toasting coconut; set oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place about 1/2 cup coconut on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown stirring occasionally (about 4-5 minutes, watch closely do not burn as the coconut browns quickly!).
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve and enjoy!

OLD-FASHIONED COCONUT CREAM PIE RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by msippigrl
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Bake the pie shell/shells as directed on package. Cool completely on wire rack. In a 2-quart non-stick saucepan - whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually, whisk in 1 cup of the milk. When fully incorporated, whisk in the remaining milk and the beaten egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk in the vanilla and butter. At this point, I placed the pot in a sink of ice and water, whisking frequently until the filling was cool and thick. Fold in the coconut. Pour into the cooled pie shell/shells. Top with the whipped topping/whipped cream. In a small skillet over med-high heat, toast about a 1/3 cup of coconut, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Remove from heat. Spread it out on a small dish and place in the freezer for a couple of minutes then sprinkle over the top of the pie. Refrigerate pie for 3-4 hours before cutting.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Coconut: Fresh coconut meat yields the most flavorful pie filling. If using dried coconut, be sure to soak it in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Don't Overcook the Filling: The coconut filling should be thick and creamy, but not too thick or dry. Overcooking will make the filling tough.
- Chill the Pie Before Serving: Chilling the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set properly.
- Use a Deep-Dish Pie Plate: A deep-dish pie plate is necessary to accommodate the thick coconut filling.
- Serve with Whipped Cream or Ice Cream: A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is the perfect finishing touch to this classic coconut pie.
Conclusion:
Old-fashioned coconut pie is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its creamy coconut filling, flaky crust, and toasted coconut topping, this pie is a true showstopper. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just because, this coconut pie is sure to be a hit.
