Calories 596kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Baked One Crust Pie Dough
- 1 Can Coconut Milk (13.5 oz) (400 g)
- 1 1/3 C Milk (326 g)
- 3/4 C Sugar (184 g)
- 4 Egg Yolks (75 g)
- 1/4 C Cornstarch (35 g)
- 1 C Coconut, shredded (83 g)
- 1 Tsp Vanilla extract (6 g)
- 1 Tsp Coconut extract (4 g)
- 1 Tbs Butter (14 g)
- 1 C Heavy cream (231 g)
- 1/3 C Coconut, shredded (40 g)
- 5 Tbs Confectioner's Sugar (27.7 g)
Instructions
- Combine the coconut milk and regular milk. Place 1 C. of this mixture into a pot, along with ¾ C. of sugar.
- Whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch into the remaining milk/coconut milk mixture (the one WITHOUT the sugar) and set aside.
- On a medium flame, heat the milk sugar mixture until it just starts to boil.
- Remove the milk sugar mixture from the heat. With a heatproof measuring cup, scoop out ¼ C of the milk sugar mixture, and temper it into the egg mixture. This involves drizzling the hot liquid into the egg mixture, while whisking the egg mixture vigorously.
- Repeat step 4 with another ¼ c. of milk sugar mixture.
- While whisking rapidly, slowly pour the egg mixture into the remaining milk and sugar mixture.
- On a medium flame, heat the custard until it begins to boil and becomes thick. It may take a few minutes to become thick, but when it does you’ll know it’s done when the thickness doesn’t seem to change anymore.
- Remove the custard from the heat and add the vanilla, coconut extract, and butter. Mix until the butter is melted.
- Mix 1 C of coconut flakes.
- Pour the custard into the baked pie shell, cover with plastic wrap directly touching the top of the custard, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- After the custard has chilled and set, pour the heavy cream into a mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form.
- Add confectioner’s sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream onto the custard, and sprinkle with the remaining shredded coconut.
