Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Pie dish
  • Electric mixer (optional)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • a pinch salt

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually pour in coconut milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Watch as the mixture thickens into a glossy custard. This step takes patience, but it’s worth it. Pro tip: Keep stirring to avoid lumps.
  • Once thickened, remove the pan from heat. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time until smooth. Add butter and vanilla extract. The aroma of vanilla blends beautifully with coconut. Stir gently to keep the texture silky. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
  • Stir in shredded coconut for texture and flavor. Pour the warm filling into your prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Let the pie cool completely. Cooling sets the filling and enhances flavors. Patience pays off here!
  • Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread it over the cooled pie. Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top for decoration. This final touch makes the pie look inviting. Slice and serve with pride. Enjoy every bite!
