Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Coconut cookies (crushed)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine crushed coconut cookies and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling (about 7-10 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and drained crushed pineapple.
Pour the warm filling into the cooled coconut cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap directly touching the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Garnish with toasted coconut flakes if desired.
Slice and serve for a tropical treat!
