Delicious Easy Coconut Cream Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is heated through and the sugar has dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour a small amount of the heated coconut mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  3. Once combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining coconut mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before pouring it into the pre-baked pie crust.
  5. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  6. Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes for an extra crunch and flavor.
