Description

Easy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Coconut Cream Such As Coco Lopez
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 6 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2-½ cups Shredded Sweetened Coconut
  • 1 teaspoon Butter
  • 1 package Pie Shell Either A Graham Craker Crust Or Baked Pie Shell
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 5 Tablespoons Confectioners Sugar Or To Taste

Preparation

Scald the milk and coconut cream in a saucepan. In a bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the sugar and then the flour. Add 2 cups of the shredded coconut to the sugar, flour and egg mixture and whisk until incorporated.

Whisk a little of the scalded milk and coconut cream mixture into the egg mixture to temper it. Then whisk all of the egg mixture into the milk mixture in the saucepan. Boil this, whisking steadily, to make sure it doesn’t burn until thick and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and dot the top with butter. Let it cool.

Spoon the filling into the pie crust and let it cool. Refrigerate until chilled.

Then make the topping. Beat the heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread on the filling and refrigerate uncovered until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

This looks great. But what do you do with the last 1/2 cup of shredded coconut? Sprinkle on top I assume?

It’s rich but really good. That’s why it doesn’t have much sugar in it.

I was very popoular with my husband after making this delicious pie. The Cream of Coconut is the secret in my opinion – provides such a wonderful coconut flavor in addition to the shredded coconut you add. I also added a few drizzles of the Cream of Coconut to the whipping cream before beating to provide a hint of flavor as well. Easy to make and well worth it.

I made a scratch pie crust as well. Definitely will make again.

Great pie. Coconut is my favorite. We were a little worried when we opened the coco Lopez but it was great! Thanks
