Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 250 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 50 grams Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create the crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, egg yolks, 100 grams of granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and cook until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency (about 5–7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sweetened shredded coconut. Let the filling cool slightly.
Pour the cooled filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Just before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pie.
Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for garnish.
Slice and serve the pie cold. Enjoy!
