Pie dish
Saucepan
Whisk
Mixing bowls
Spatula
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and press it into a pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
In a saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add milk and cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly mix them into the hot filling. Stir in butter, vanilla, and shredded coconut.
Pour the coconut filling into the baked crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for a neat finish. Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread it over the chilled pie. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top for garnish.
This Old Fashioned Coconut Cream Pie is a classic that's easy to make and sure to impress. Perfect for any gathering or festive occasion!
