Coconut Cream Pie
Ingredients
  • subheading: MORGAN HUNT GLAZE, FOOD STYLIST: CHELSEA ZIMMER, PROP STYLIST: JULIA BAYLESS:
  • Refrigerated piecrust: Since this recipe requires a blind-baked piecrust, we like to use a packaged refrigerated crust; it’s already chilled and ready to be rolled out and baked. But if you have a favorite piecrust recipe, feel free to use it.
  • Sugar and vanilla extract: These pantry staples add just the right amount of sweetness to the filling.
  • Half-and-half: Half-and-half forms the base for our creamy custard filling. If your family is crazy for coconut, you could use canned coconut milk instead.
  • Cornstarch, egg yolks, and butter: The cornstarch and egg yolks thicken the filling, while the butter gives it a dreamily smooth texture.
  • Sweetened flaked coconut: This is where the coconut flavor comes from. Feel free to sub in sweetened shredded coconut-the only difference is the size of the pieces.
  • Whipping cream (and more sugar): For the light, fluffy, piled-high whipped cream layer on top of the custard.
  • Toasted Coconut: It makes a pretty and delicious garnish.
