Creamy Coconut Custard Pie | Everything From Scratch!! | Southern Living From Home

There are two types of Southerners in the world: coconut “cream” pie people and coconut “custard” pie people-while we love both people equally, this Coconut Custard Pie recipe might just make a few converts. Rather than the airy texture of coconut cream pie, our Coconut Custard Pie is smooth and rich with a chilled custard base filled with sweetened shreds of coconut.
INGREDIENTS
CUSTARD:
1 Single-Crust Pie Pastry Dough
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1 (13.66-oz.) can coconut cream*
½ teaspoon coconut extract
½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
Whipped cream for garnish
Toasted coconut chips for garnish (optional)
CRUST:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 tablespoons cold shortening, cubed
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

I made this today. I never made my own custard on the stove before. It was so easy! The pie came out so light and creamy! Thank you for posting this recipe!

[@samhugh4965]

I’d use those egg whites and make a meringue for the top.

[@deevila704]

Great idea 💡

[@GodsObedientChild-Deuteron6262]

YES PLEASE🙋! Coconut custard pie..Mmmmmm, SO GOOD😋💫🙌✨💕👌💃!!!

[@jpc3603]

Thank you Micah for this wonderful and super simple dessert! I made this for my mother today and she loved it!! I didn't have any double cream at hand for the topping so used creme fraiche which worked nicely. Not from the South so am enjoying getting acquainted with this style of cooking 😊.

👍 nice pie....looking at the typed out recipe...there’s an * astrik after the coconut cream 🥥 but didn’t see a note at the bottom in it’s regards??? Those egg whites would have made a nice meringue 😀 PS-what is the special note for the coconut cream???

[@stephaniefoley5569]

Debbie Reeves thank ya 😃 yep, makes sense to me...used coconut cream recently in a cake batter. Had to order it off Amazon. Have a few cans left and can not wait to try this wonderful recipe with coconut rum in place of the coconut extract and a meringue.

[@lizanderson1669]

5 egg yolks , 5 tbsp of corn starch total of 3 cups whole milk or half milk and half coconut milk you will get more custard and thicker

Hi Are You Doing? @Micha - Nice Coconut Pie 🥧🥧.. So Beautiful.

[@jooozed]

I thought he was the guy from yes theory

[@sherryhudson9075]

No butter?

[@micahleal5379]

Nope! All the richness comes from the coconut cream and egg yolks!

[@donnababylon]

Can you explain coconut cream? The only product I can find that says cream is what you make pina coladas with

[@0703la]

If you only have coconut milk (as I did) you can use it and add some coconut flakes then use a blender or food processor to make the shreds into tiny bits. You then use the specified amount.

[@lynnjepson8218]

I think that is actually called cream of coconut that you use for pina coladas..not that I've ever made those or anything, LOL

[@rosemaryburke6640]

Trader Joe's carries Coconut Cream as well as Coconut Milk
