Ingredients

Servings
  • 14 ounces coconut milk 1 can, full-fat
  • 1 cup milk whole
  • ¼ cup heavy cream divided
  • cup granulated sugar
  • cup cornstarch
  • 2 egg beaten, large
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoons vanilla extract pure
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 pie crust pre-baked and cooled, 9-inch, refrigerated
  • 2 cups Whipped Cream optional, for garnish
  • ½ cup coconut optional, for garnish, toasted

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, whisk the coconut milk, milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and salt together. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer, stirring constantly, for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  3. Set a fine mesh strainer over a clean mixing bowl, then pour the custard through it. Use a rubber spatula to press out any clumps.
  4. Stir the flaked coconut into the warm custard in the bowl.
  5. Transfer the finished custard into the baked pie shell. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly to the surface of the pie and chill until firm, about 4 hours, up to 1 day.
  6. Top the pie with the whipped cream, then sprinkle toasted coconut over the whole pie.

Notes

  • Storage: Store coconut cream pie loosely covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or tightly covered in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil in the freezer for up to 3 months.
