NO-BAKE COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND PINEAPPLE
When I was researching pie recipes for my upcoming cookbook, I asked my social media followers if they had any regional specialties I may not have heard of. I received five requests for a pie with a coconut custard, pineapple topping, toasted macadamia nuts and fresh strawberries. I'd never had the combination before, but it's a match made in summery pie heaven -- and made even better with a hefty dollop of whipped cream atop each slice.

Steps:
- For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the wafer cookies, macadamia nuts, granulated sugar and salt together until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate and transfer to the freezer until firm (at least 1 hour and up to overnight).
- For the filling: In a medium pot, heat the coconut milk and whole milk together over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg and egg yolk to combine. When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, pour about 1/4 of it into the sugar/egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return this mixture to the pot and continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and large bubbles pop up from the center of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and shredded coconut. Pour the mixture into the frozen pie crust, cover directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate to cool completely.
- For the toppings: In a medium pot, stir together the crushed pineapple, light brown sugar, cornstarch and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool completely, then pour on top of the chilled pie. Sprinkle the macadamia nuts in an even layer on top of the pie. (The pie can be made up to this point 24 hours ahead of time.)
- When ready to serve, toss the strawberries and honey together in a medium bowl. Arrange in an even layer on top of the pie. Serve slices with whipped cream.

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter until melted and then stir in the pineapple, coconut, orange zest, lemon juice, orange juice, and coconut extract. Cool to room temperature and stir in the macadamia nuts.

Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use cold butter and ice water. Grate the butter or cut it into small pieces and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes to prevent it from becoming soggy. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
- Use fresh pineapple for the filling. Cut the pineapple into small pieces and drain off any excess juice.
- Simmer the pineapple with sugar, cornstarch, and water until it thickens. This will help to prevent the filling from being too runny.
- Fold the whipped cream into the coconut cream mixture until just combined. Over-mixing will cause the whipped cream to deflate.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the crust to set.
