Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks to temper them, then pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes while stirring.

  3. 5

    Finish the Filling

    Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut until everything is well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

  4. 6

    Fill the Crust

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Topping

  1. 7

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

  2. 8

    Top the Pie

    Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie filling. Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut on top for garnish.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious coconut cream pie!
