Bakers Square Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie
Description
The pie filling is made by cooking half-and-half with eggs, sugar, flour, and salt over low heat until thickened into a rich custard. Toasted coconut is incorporated to add texture and coconut flavor, while vanilla extract deepens the aroma. The filling is poured into a pre-baked pie shell and chilled until set.
For variation, a chocolate layer is prepared by melting bittersweet chocolate into scalded milk and poured into the pie shell before chilling, creating a contrast beneath the coconut custard. After chilling to firm, a layer of whipped topping is spread on top and finished with a coconut sprinkle.
The pie offers a smooth, creamy texture from the custard combined with the crunch and flavor of toasted coconut. This dessert combines traditional coconut cream characteristics with a potential chocolate twist, suitable for family meals or celebrations.
