Ingredients
CRUST¹
1/3 cup roasted salted macadamia nuts (50g)
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs 170g
2 Tablespoons light or dark brown sugar firmly packed
½ cup salted butter melted (113g)
FILLING
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup sugar 150g
4 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 egg yolks
1 cup coconut milk shake well before pouring (236ml)
1 cup heavy cream 236ml
1 cup whole milk 236ml
3 Tablespoons butter softened and cut into 3 pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract optional, if not using substitute for an additional ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream² ½ batch will be sufficient, unless you like a lot of whipped cream
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
CRUST
00:45 Preheat oven to 350F (175C)
01:00 Place macadamia nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (or finely chop them with a large knife).
01:15 Add to a large bowl with graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar and stir to combine.
01:25 Add melted butter and stir until all crumbs are moistened. Pour into 9 ½” pie plate and firmly pack into the bottom and up the sides of the dish (I like to use the bottom of a clean measuring cup to help evenly and firmly pack the crust).
01:52 Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Reduce oven temperature to 325F/165C. Evenly spread coconut over a cookie sheet and transfer to 325F (165C) oven. Cook for 5 minutes, remove from oven and use a spatula to stir well. Return to oven and cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat until all coconut is toasted a light golden brown. Once toasted, set coconut aside and allow to cool. Meanwhile, prepare your filling.
02:07 In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
02:22 Add eggs, coconut milk, heavy cream, and whole milk. Whisk well. Turn heat to medium heat and whisk frequently until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
02:58 Once mixture begins to bubble, whisk continuously for 45 seconds, it should achieve a pudding-like consistency at this point and coat the back of a spoon.
03:05 Remove from heat and add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking until combined after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and coconut extract (if using) and stir in 1 cup of your toasted coconut (reserve remaining 1/2 cup for topping).
03:41 Pour into prepared pie crust and place a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the pie, to prevent a skin from forming.
03:58 Allow to cool to room temperature, then transfer pie (still covered) to refrigerator to chill 2-3 hours or overnight before topping with whipped cream and serving.
ASSEMBLY
04:15 When ready to serve, pipe³ or dollop whipped cream evenly over the top of your coconut cream pie.
04:37 Sprinkle with reserved toasted coconut. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Hi Sam! My sister and I made your coconut cream pie yesterday, and ate it today. Our family and us loved it! We loved the toasted coconut on top, and inside the pie. Homemade whipped cream, is better than store bought. Thanks for the recipe Sam!

I just ordered all the ingredients I need to make this pie for Thanksgiving (this coming Thursday). I have to say, your pie sounds and looks scrumptious and beautiful. I'm a 72 year "young" woman! lol I've been making homemade coconut cream pies since I was twelve. I'm know for my "fabulous" coconut pie. But, everyone is going to be in for a surprise this Thanksgiving, as I'm using your recipe. It absolutely looks and sounds like the best coconut pie anyone could make, so I'm giving it a try. I'll let you know what my family members think about it The filling is what I'm excited about. I've never used the coconut milk before and I know it has to be delicious with it and cream and milk. Anyhow, didn't mean to go on this long, I will send you a message of the responses I get from "your" coconut cream pie. Happy Thanksgiving, I pray God blesses you and keeps you and your family safe and well. Linda, from Texas.

WOW!!! How cool are you? Thanks for this recommendation! I am totally speechless! I would've never imagined to put toasted nuts into a pie crust, but then again, there's only so much imagination in store bought pie shells! Lol!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm planning to make a Piña Colada creme pie. My idea is to reduce the viscosity of the juice by reducing it over the heat, but would that be enough to thicken it to the desired level? Thanks!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad you've enjoyed it so much! As long as the foil pie plate will hold all of the ingredients it should be fine. I'm not sure how long they would need to bake though. I don't use those pie pans too often. :(

[@marlenapitts4434]

I have 2 questions. Could I toast the coconut on the stove rather that in the over? Could I use Almonds in place of the macadamia nuts?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes and yes! Hope you love the pie 😊

[@judyblackman-callender2629]

Hey Sam, good night. Can the coconut be toasted under the oven grill if I grate my own coconut? Or, bake it like you did? Also, should I add sugar to my coconut b4 or after toasting? I use natural products as far as possible when cooking with coconut. Lol. Anyways, I'm looking forward to hearing from you real soon. I'm gonna make mine as soon as you reply. 😋😋😋 Thanks for sharing. Bless up. 🙏🏾

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have never taken a fresh coconut and made sweetened coconut. I think in order to do that you need to cook it in some kind of sugar syrup on the stove top first. Then you can bake it in the oven like I do here. I hope this helps. I would be sure to double check the process on making fresh coconut into sweetened coconut. :)

[@judyblackman-callender2629]

Yea girl!! I thought about doing it along the steps you mentioned. But, I'll research it on the internet. Yes, you've been a big help. Thanks a mil, doll. 🤗🤗🤗🇹🇹 It would've been so nice if pics of foods and recipes could've been shown in replies like this. Blessed good night. I hope all those techies are working on that idea!

The custard tasted good and set well, but came out gritty. I followed the directions to the letter (even counting the 45 seconds) and kept replaying the video as I was cooking the mixture to make sure I didn't miss a step. Maybe the corn starch should have been added as a slurry and not in the pot. But this could also be the sugar.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this! This is very strange. I'm not sure why it would be gritty. There weren't any substitutions made here? Maybe it was over-cooked?

[@taka354]

@@SugarSpunRun No substitutions made. I followed the instructions to the letter and rewinded the video as I cooked it to make sure I didn't miss any steps/measurements. I even counted the 45 seconds after turning off the heat and then adding the butter. I wonder if it's the addition of the toasted coconut to the mixture. I've never had or made coconut cream pie that way. Everything else was good. It is very strange.
