Hello everyone. I hope that today finds you well and sassy. We have lost our little cool front here in Florida. And I find myself missing that awesome cool air, but I will be happy anyway!
Yesterday I made a coconut pie and thought that for today, I would share the recipe with you. It is a really good pie even though the picture does not do it justice.But you know what they say! An ugly cake or pie is a good one. So here is the recipe for my one and only coconut pie.
1 can coconut milk 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c half and half 1/2 c cornstarch
3 eggs beaten 3/4 c sugar
1 c coconut in the pie 1/2 c coconut on top of the pie (all coconut toasted)
1 1/2 tbsp of coconut extract 1 pie shell baked 375 degrees for 10 minutes
(Later for the meringue ) 1 c heavy whipping cream 2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp cream of tarter 6 egg whites
In a bowl whisk the dry ingredients together—- sugar starch salt.
Add to a medium size heavy duty pot.
Whisk in the cream and coconut milk along with the eggs. Cook on medium to low heat and staying right there to keep whisking as you are cooking. When it gets really thick, add in the coconut and coconut extract.
Scoop this into the pie shell. And then start your meringue in a mixer bow and whip on high for 2 minutes. Add in sugar and cream of tarter and continue whipping until hard peaks can be seen. Add in vanilla just before finished.
Scoop this meringue onto the top of the coconut pie. Have oven on broil. Watch this step very carefully! Brown the meringue slightly or it will burn. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top. Keep this cold until you serve it. I do so hope you enjoy this recipe! It is my favorite.
PS for my pie, I only used 3 egg whites so if you use the 6 egg whites, then it will be mountain high with your meringue!
Thank you for visiting and I hope that you stayed awhile and check out more things on my blog! I post on Tue-Thur and Saturdays. So do please come back again and share my blog with all your friends.
