Ingredients
  

  • 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

Equipment

  • Pie dish
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add milk and cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread it over the chilled pie. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top for garnish.
