Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 1.25 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Toasted coconut (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar (for crust). Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to pack it tightly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
While the crust cools, prepare the coconut cream filling. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, shredded coconut, granulated sugar (for filling), cornstarch, and salt. Stir frequently until the mixture starts to simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the coconut cream filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, make the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie, creating swirls or peaks as desired.
Garnish the pie with toasted coconut.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your iCarly-inspired Coconut Cream Pie!
