Old fashioned coconut cream pie

Some of my family doesn’t like meringue. What is wrong with those people?! So I tried plan B because I like meringue but I needed something everyone likes. Here’s how it went..

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 servings

Cooking time :

1/2 hr to 45 mins

1 cup

sweetened, flaked coconut, toasted

regular pie crust, blind baked

3 cups

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Set oven to 350. Toast your coconut on a sheet pan, stirring occasionally. At the same time, bake your pricked pie crust til lightly browned. Set both aside to cool.

* Step 2

In a medium saucepan, add the sugar, flour and salt and whisk together then add the 3 cups half and half, vanilla and 2 beaten eggs and whisk together on med/high heat until it comes to a boil and becomes very thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

* Step 3

Add half the toasted coconut to the custard and combine. Spread in the baked pie shell. I let mine cool a bit before covering in plastic wrap and allowing to chill for about 4 hours.

* Step 4

To make the top I beat 2 cups heavy cream and 4 tbsp powdered sugar to stabilize the whipped cream. Once the pie was cold I added the cream on top and sprinkled the rest of the toasted coconut on top.
