Coconut Cream Pie Ingredients

Method

Coconut Cream Pie Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat until combined. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble.

  2. 2

    Add Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Then, whisk the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Coconut and Butter

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded coconut, butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Fill the Crust

    Pour the coconut filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Topping

    Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream. Slice and serve chilled.
