NO-BAKE COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND PINEAPPLE



No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie with Strawberries and Pineapple image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 23

45 vanilla wafer cookies
1 cup toasted macadamia nuts
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
20 ounces crushed pineapple in juice
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups toasted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
2 cups quartered strawberries
1 tablespoon honey
Whipped cream, for serving

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 prebaked pie crust, cooled, 9-inch (all-butter pie crust recommended)
1/2 cup sugar (3 1/2 oz.)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 lbs rhubarb, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 4 cups or 1 lb prepped)
1 1/2 cups cream cheese, at room temperature (12 oz.)
1/2 cup sugar (3 1/2 oz.)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Rub the sugar and cornstarch together in a large bowl, then add the rhubarb and toss until evenly coated.
  • Spoon the rhubarb mixture into the prebaked pie crust.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, then remove the pie from the oven and turn the oven down to 350°.
  • Meanwhile, make the custard--using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Stir in the vanilla and salt.
  • Pour the custard into the pie and spread it evenly and smoothly over the rhubarb.
  • Return the pie to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard puffs up around the edges but is still slightly wobbly in the middle (do not worry; as the pie cools, the center will firm up.
  • Cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
  • Place the strawberries atop the pie and dust with powdered sugar just before serving (a sieve works well for this), or serve the berries alongside with individual slices of pie.
  • The pie can be made a day in advance, in which case you should refrigerate it and top with the strawberries just before serving.
  • Covered with plastic wrap, the leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
