Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1.25 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Lime zest
- 4 Large egg yolks
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Toast the shredded coconut by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of toasted coconut, and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and egg yolks until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Just before serving, make the whipped cream topping: In a mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie and sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut on top as garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tropical delight!
