  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

  2. Whisk the egg yolks and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Temper the egg mixture by slowly adding the hot coconut mixture while whisking constantly.

  6. Fill the pre-baked pie crust with the luscious filling and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cool the pie at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating to chill for at least 1 hour.

  9. Garnish the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut before serving.

Notes

Leftover pie can be refrigerated for 3-4 days. Toasting coconut flakes enhances flavor.
