Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Fully blind bake pie crust. Cool completely.

  2. 2

    In a medium heavy saucepan, whisk coconut milk, cream, sugar and salt together over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch together in a small bowl.

  4. 4

    Whisk cream mixture occasionally until it comes to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low.

  5. 5

    Scoop about a half cup of the hot cream mixture and slowly drizzle into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This tempers the eggs so they don't scramble!

  6. 6

    Slowly drizzle the tempered egg mixture into the hot cream pot, again whisking continuously to avoid scrambled eggs.

  7. 7

    Continue whisking and cooking for 1.5 minutes until smooth and thick.

  8. 8

    Remove pot from heat and stir in shredded coconut, butter and extracts.

  9. 9

    Pour warm filling into cooled pie crust. Cover with plastic wrap directly on top of the filling to prevent a "skin" from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

  10. 10

    Just before serving, whip the topping until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed. Toast coconut in a small frying pan.

  11. 11

    Spoon topping into piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Decorate with large swirls. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
