Amy Roloff Making Coconut Cream Pie

This pie reminds me of that small town diner you go and visit and their pies are the reason you are there. The creamy smooth custard, coconut flavor, whip-cream and toasted coconut combination is scrumptious. So bake up a pie today and enjoy serving up a slice or two. It won’t last long.
My thoughts - This is an easy pie to make. I think the hardest part is making sure you temper the eggs right. It sounds more tricky then it is. I recommend using full fat coconut milk and not just half and half. I use half and half and not just regular milk because it also gives the pie a richer tasting pie and helps thicken it. I think coconut milk and half and half gives a richer tasting pie and the custard is more solidified and not too soft. You can omit adding coconut into the custard. I prefer it because it gives the pie more coconut flavor, sweetness and texture.
Ingredients:
1 Single Pie Crust - either premade or your favorite pie crust recipe (check out ARLK recipe)
4 Egg Yolks
¼ cup Cornstarch
1 can (14oz) full fat Coconut Milk
1 ¼ cup Half and Half
½ cup Sugar
¼ tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Butter
½ tsp Vanilla
Optional:
½ cup Shredded Coconut
¼ - ½ tsp Coconut Extract
Whip Cream:
2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
¼ cup, more or less Powdered Sugar
¼ tsp Vanilla
Optional: Few drops or ¼ tsp Coconut Extract
Garnish
Toasted Shredded Coconut
Directions:
* Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
* Pie Crust: Prick your piecrust and blind bake until it just begins to turn brown on the edge. Blind bake means pre-baking your crust. Place parchment paper on top of the crust, covering the edges as well. Place either pie crust weights or beans on the bottom, enough to cover the bottom and a little up the sides. You don’t want the crust to shrink during this process so the pie weights are important. Bake for about 10 minutes until the crust just begins to brown. Remove the pie crust from the oven and take out the weights and parchment paper. If you haven’t done it already, prick the crust with a fork and bake for about another 5 minutes until the crust is lightly brown. Cool completely before adding the custard to the crust.
* In a small bowl, add the egg yolks and cornstarch and mix until combined.
* In a saucepan add in the coconut milk, half and half, salt and sugar. Cook on medium-high heat until it comes to a low boil and then reduce to medium low. Add in the butter, coconut extract and vanilla and continue to cook until the sugar has dissolved completely.
* Take about ¼ - 1/3 cup of the hot liquid and slowly add to the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Keep stirring till it is smooth. Stirring will prevent it from becoming little pieces of solid egg or scrambled. Add the egg mixture to the hot liquid and keep stirring until the custard has thickened.
* Once the custard has thickened add to the pie crust. Tap gently on the counter to get out any bubbles that may have formed. Cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing down on the custard. This will help prevent condensation forming on the custard. Refrigerate for at least 3 - 5 hours before serving.
* Whip Cream. In a large mixing bowl add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and coconut extract. With a mixer or hand mixer, on medium-high speed, beat until medium stiff peaks form.
* Using a spatula spread the whipping cream over the top of the pie, making swirls as you go. Or if you preferred, pipe the cream in dollops to cover the top of the pie.
* In the oven or in a sauté pan, add the shredded coconut and toast until lightly brown. Sprinkle over the pie.
From my kitchen to yours, I hope you enjoy this scrumptious Coconut Cream Pie.

Totally with you....make dessert without the " LOW" stuff. I have a recipe for a toasted coconut cheesecake and it uses coconut CREAM.... Well, no one in the grocery had a clue what I was asking about. I actually called the chef the recipe came from, wonderful man, and he told me where to find it. This was long before Thai food came into popularity. It turned out INCREDIBLE......and the chef was my hero!

[@leshall6844]

I am positive your coconut pies are delicious, this one of my favorites and brings back so many memories of my Mother, my Grand Mother's and even Great Grand Mother's pies. They always used fresh coconuts in their pies they saved the milk from the Nut and hand grated the coconut for the pie, wonderful old German Jewish recipes similar to your recipie. Thank you for all you do, God Bless you and all those who work to produce the fine videos.

[@nancyjohnson5810]

Amy thank you thank you for this recipe as I love coconut cream pie, and I would improvise a pastry bag with a gallon size plastic bag and snip one of the corners of it and push in the little plastic nozzle and just scoop the whipping cream into the bag and twist the bag and it works great. No need to buy a pastry bag.

[@kindnessiscontagious3458]

I LOVE you in the kitchen! Your down to earth and just real. Its not always perfect and there is mess ups but you don't redo the videos you just roll with it !

[@crandlecockman3348]

Hi Amy, I am your biggest fan that said hi at the 185th safeway a few days ago. I was telling my family all about getting to see you and I guess my phone looked you up for me on KZbin, Technically is getting so advanced. Keep up the good work and never give up 🙏

[@princealfalahy1144]

Hello

[@karendobbs8153]

Your pie looks beautiful Amy, and the crust turned out perfect.

[@BigMoneysLife]

Hi Amy, if you're making a pie, and don't have a pastry bag for whipped cream, you can also use a plastic baggie that you seal up at the top. Just get your baggie, snip a hole in the corner big enough, so that if you want to use a piping tip, you can, then put your piping tip of choice in, making sure it's secure, then put your whipped cream in, seal the bag up nice and tight, making sure there's no air in it that could pop it open at the top, then pipe the cream on your pie in your desired design! Your pie looked GORGEOUS by the way!

[@zazasworld8377]

Amy..I love watching you in your kitchen cooking delicious comfort foods. I also like that you keep the animals out of the kitchen. Sanitation is so very important.👍

[@cynthiabarela6233]

I agree sanitation's important but there has been many times for Amy will touch raw chicken and not wash your hands and then go toss the salad with your fingers that have been touching chicken. Then there are times she will get a spoon and dip it and some kind of a sauce taste it and put that very same spoon back in the sauce.... Other times she'll get food on her fingers and pop those fingers in her mouth on lick them and then use the same licked finger to start peeling something or another... There's a lot of cross-contamination in that kitchen.

[@frannyfran7157]

Beautiful job. You're so creative and talented in the kitchen love your Channel.

[@donnamorrison4837]

Hi Amy...let me start by saying that the transformation in your demeanor and overall look is mind boggling...l have been watching you and your family for years and l have to say that you look so content and happy now that it's amazing. OK so....try gently beating an egg white then brushing it over the bottom of your crust before blind baking and you won't have to worry about a soggy crust :) Stay happy and keep doing whatever it is you're doing because you look amazing. Congrats to you and Chris...God Speed :)

I watched a person making pie and after her crust was cooked she beat an egg yolk and brushed the whole inside of the pastry and baked again for 10 - 15 minutes til the egg wash was cooked. She explained that it helped the pie crust stay crispy and not become a soggy mess.
