Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk a little less than 1 can
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup corn starch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flaked coconut toasted
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract or vanilla extract
- 9 inch pie shell baked (see above for our pie crust recipes)
TOPPING:
- 1 pint whipping cream the kind you have to whip yourself, not the pre-made, frozen stuff!
- 1/4-1/2 cup powdered sugar to taste
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, coconut milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Bring to a boil over LOW medium heat (using a double-boiler works best), whisking constantly.
- When it starts to boil a little bit and thickens up to about the consistency of a thick pudding (this takes about 15-20 minutes so BE PATIENT), remove from heat.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the coconut (or vanilla) extract.
- Pour into pie shell and chill for 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.
- While pie is cooling, whip together topping ingredients with electric beaters.
- When pie is completely cooled, top with whipped topping.
- Sprinkle on remaining toasted coconut.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for the whole pie filling, but not the crust.
- For a quick and easy meringue recipe, see our Lemon Meringue Pie. If you prefer meringue to whipped topping, this works beautifully on the Coconut Cream Pie.
