Coconut Pumpkin Pudding Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, coconut, 2 tablespoons butter, the shortening and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
• Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers. Chill at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking 5 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Gently whisk the pumpkin, coconut milk, sugar, eggs, rum, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in a large bowl until combined. Pour into the prepared crust and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake 1 hour. Sprinkle more coconut around the edge of the pie; continue baking until the center is almost set but still jiggles slightly, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Combine the graham crackers and granulated sugar in a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and process until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers, evenly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until the crust is golden and firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Combine the pumpkin, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup cream of coconut, the granulated sugar, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, the ginger, allspice and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake until set and just barely jiggly in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.
• Make the topping: Spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in the remaining 1/3 cup cream of coconut until just combined (do not overmix). Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the cream on the pie and sprinkle with the toasted coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Mix graham crumbs, butter and 1/2 cup coconut; press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Bake 8 to 10 min. or until lightly browned; cool completely.
• Beat pudding mix, milk, pumpkin and spice in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in 1 cup COOL WHIP. Pour into crust; top with remaining COOL WHIP.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Meanwhile, toast remaining coconut; cool.
• Sprinkle toasted coconut over pie just before serving.
