Coconut Cream Pie
Description
The Coconut Cream Pie begins with baking a pre-formed or homemade pie crust until golden. The crust forms a sturdy, crisp base for the filling. Flaked coconut is toasted in a skillet until golden brown, enhancing its nutty flavor and adding texture to the pie topping.
The filling is made by mixing instant vanilla pudding powder with coconut milk until smooth and silky. Once the pie crust cools, the pudding mixture is poured into it and chilled to set partially. Whipped heavy cream sweetened with powdered sugar is beaten to stiff peaks and spread as a topping over the pudding layer.
Finally, the toasted coconut is sprinkled over the whipped cream, providing a crunchy accent and emphasizing the coconut flavor throughout the pie. The pie requires refrigeration for at least four hours to allow flavors to meld and set fully, resulting in a creamy, coconut-flavored dessert with contrasting textures.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 1/2 cups coconut flaked
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 5 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pie crust into 9" pie plate or use pre-made deep dish pie crust in pie plate and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a large skillet, toast the coconut until golden brown, shaking the pan, stirring constantly until the coconut starts to change color all over (this should take about 4-5 minutes).
- Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar to your stand mixer on low speed for a few seconds until combined then raise to high speed for 1 minute until whipped and stiff peaks form.
- In a second bowl mix together the vanilla pudding mix and the coconut milk well until well combined, then pour it into the cooled pie crust.
- Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
