I had the most delicious lunch today, the most coconuty coconut cream pie! Rich and creamy with lots of sweet chewy coconut. Dreamy! I do realize that most people would probably eat it for dessert, I’m just a little different. ;o)
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie shell, baked, pastry or graham cracker
2 (13.5 oz) cans coconut milk
4 1/2 Tbl cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 egg yolks, beaten
2 Tbl butter
1½-2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Combine coconut milk, cornstarch, salt, and sugar in large sauce pan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, whisking constantly. Add a small amount of hot coconut milk mixture to egg yolks to warm, and then add egg yolks to coconut milk mixture. Boil 1 minute stirring constantly till thick and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Cool for about a half hour, stirring frequently. Stir coconut into lukewarm filling. Pour into baked pie shell, cover with piece of parchment or wax paper. Cool completely in refrigerator. Serve with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
