Servings
6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoon cold water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 2 1/2 cup milk or non dairy milk
- 1 cup whip or non dairy whipping cream plus 1/4 cup of sugar optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sugar and the butter/margarine. Mix with the hands and add gradually a few tbsp of cold water until it becomes a soft dough. Cover in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for 30 min.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork all over. Preheat the oven to 375 and bake for 30-35min.
- Make the coconut cream: mix together the eggs yolks with the milk. In a large pot, mix the sugar with the cornstarch and gradually add the egg mixture. Stir slowly on a low fire until the mixture becomes bubbly and the consistency changes. Add the coconut and keep stirring. Pour this cream into the baked pie crust.
- Make the cream topping: beat the whipping cream with the sugar and top the pie with the cream.
- Refregirate for 3 hours before serving.
Thanks David! I’m happy you enjoyed this pie! Whenever I make it its a big success! And so easy to make!!
I made 2 of these pies for sukkot and it was a MASSIVE hit. Adults and kids went back for seconds!
Sorry It didn’t come out as expected.
since the cream and the topping are very sweet, the crust is supposed to balance the sweetness.
I hope you will try to make it again – this recipe is definitely a huge hit, probably your oven might be too strong and the crust cooked very quickly.
Was disappointed with this as a tablespoon of salt was too much I’d say a teaspoon the crust was inedible it was way too salty and 30 mins was too long in the oven for the pie crust it started to burn. This recipe has a lot of potential but the instructions are off.
I use non dairy creamer only when I make parve recipes / I ve tried other alternative and the taste is definitely different, same for the texture.
Taste wise in the coconut cream cilling do you taste a difference in the milk you use. I know in the topping you would.
