Description
A rich American custard pie made with a flaky crust, tropical coconut filling, and whipped cream topping. Infused with natural coconut oil and sweetened with real sugar for a balanced, chewy texture.
Ingredients
9-inch pre-baked pie crust
2 cups whole milk
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
3 large egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for whipped cream)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake pie crust as needed for pre-baking.
Whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
In a saucepan, combine whole milk and coconut milk; heat over medium until warm (160°F).
Temper egg mixture by whisking in 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture until fully incorporated.
Pour tempered mixture back into saucepan with remaining milk; add shredded coconut.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens (about 5 minutes).
Pour filling into prepared crust and chill for 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Toasted coconut on top enhances texture
Cornstarch is critical for stable, silky filling
Chill thoroughly to ensure sliceable texture
