Create a Snowy Coconut Cream Pie that brings a tropical taste of sunshine to your cold weather days. This pie features a fluffy coconut filling resembling a beautiful winter wonderland.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, divided
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Reduce heat and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Then, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  5. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and 1 cup of the flaked coconut.
  7. Pour the hot filling into the prepared pie crust. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely in the refrigerator.
  8. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled coconut filling.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of flaked coconut over the top.
  11. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can toast the top layer of coconut lightly for added color and flavor before chilling.
  • For a deeper coconut flavor, use coconut milk instead of regular milk in the filling, adjusting the cornstarch slightly if the mixture seems too thin.
  • This recipe balances Spoon’s comforting tradition with Sprout’s fresh touch.
