Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Toasted coconut (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade pie crust, blind bake it according to your recipe instructions until golden. If using a pre-made crust, bake according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine whole milk, coconut milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth before heating.

Step 3

Heat the milk mixture over medium heat until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks while whisking to temper the eggs.

Step 5

Slowly return the egg mixture back into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the mixture is thick and bubbling.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in butter, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the coconut custard filling into the cooled pie crust. Smooth out the top and let it cool at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 8

Just before serving, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Gradually add powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with toasted coconut for an extra touch.

Step 10

Slice and serve this luxurious coconut cream pie!
