Hi Joy,
I like this coconut cream pie recipe the best, it is very rich.
Coconut Cream Pie
3 cups half-and-half 2 eggs 3/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup flaked coconut, toasted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked 2 cups whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the coconut and the vanilla extract. Pour into pie shell and chill 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.
In a chilled mixing bowl whip heavy cream and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread over chilled pie. Top off with 1/4 cup of toasted coconut.
Note: To toast coconut, spread it in an ungreased pan and bake in a 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. |
