Ingredients
CRUST
- 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookies finely crushed up
- 1/3 cup melted butter
COCONUT FILLING
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups coconut milk
- 2 large whole eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut lightly toasted
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 ½ cups whipping cream chilled
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 cup Toasted Coconut
Instructions
Gingersnap Cookie Crust
- To make the crust combine the ingredients in a bowl using just enough melted butter to make it stick together. Then press into a 9” pie plate or springform pan. Place in the fridge to chill.
Coconut Custard Filling
- For the filling, stir the sugar, cornstarch and salt together in a heavy-bottomed sauce pot. Whisk in the coconut milk, whole eggs and egg yolks, making sure that there are no lumps.
- Heat up the custard on low heat, whisking constantly for 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and continue whisking until the custard thickens and becomes glossy, which takes about 5 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and if desired, strain through a sieve to remove any lumps. Stir in the vanilla, butter and coconut and stir until the butter has melted.
- Pour immediately into the chilled pie shell, let it cool on the counter for 15 minutes, then chill completely in the fridge - around 4-5 hours.
Whipped Cream Topping
- For the lovely and must-have cream topping, whip the whipping cream until peaks form, and then whisk in the sugar .
- Top the coconut custard with whipped cream, and sprinkle remaining toasted coconut on top as garnish. Keep the pie in the fridge.
