2. Toast the Coconut: Toasting the shredded coconut enhances its flavor. Simply spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s golden brown.

3. Prepare Ingredients in Advance: Measure out all ingredients beforehand and have them ready. This will make the cooking process smoother and help prevent any mistakes.

4. Chill the Pie Properly: Allow the pie to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This ensures the filling sets properly and makes for easier slicing.

5. Add Whipped Cream Just Before Serving: To keep the whipped cream fresh and fluffy, add it to the pie only when you are ready to serve. This ensures your pie looks and tastes its best.

Equipment

  • 1 Pie dish For baking the pie crust
  • 1 Saucepan For making the custard
  • 1 Whisk For mixing ingredients

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pre-baked pie crust Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Whole milk
  • 1 cup Coconut milk
  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut Toasted
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Sweetened shredded coconut Toasted, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in milk and coconut milk, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then return the yolk mixture to the saucepan. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in butter, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of toasted shredded coconut. Let the custard cool slightly.
  • Pour the custard into the pre-baked pie crust. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the whipped cream over the chilled custard filling. Garnish with toasted shredded coconut.
  • Chill the pie for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Slice and enjoy your homemade Coconut Cream Pie!

Notes

You can use unsweetened shredded coconut for less sweetness in the pie. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
