Kittencals Bakery Coconut Cream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat half and half with the coconut milk over medium heat, until steaming.
• In a large bowl,whisk 1/2 cup sugar with the cornstarch; whisk in the eggs until blended.
• Gradually mix in hot milk mixture into the egg mixture to thin, in a steady stream.
• Return the mixture to saucepan; cook, over medium heat, whisking constantly, for about 10 minutes, or until thickened to pudding consistency.
• Transfer to a bowl; stir in coconut extract (if using) and vanilla then mix in 1 cup coconut.
• Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding mixture; refrigerate until cool.
• In a bowl, whip whipping cream with 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar to soft peaks.
• Set 1-1/2 cups of the whipped cream aside to use for topping.
• Fold the remaining whipped cream into the cooled filling; spread into pie shell.
• Using a piping bag, or with a spoon, garnish top with reserved whipping cream.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons toasted coconut.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until set or for up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Measure the 398-ml can of coconut milk with the table cream to make 3 cups, then place in a large microwave-safe bowl (I use my 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup for this).
• Add in the eggs and whisk until completely combined with the milk.
• Add in sugar, flour, salt, vanilla and coconut extract (if using) whisk vigorously to combine.
• Place in microwave and cook on HIGH removing about every couple of minutes to whisk (you must whisk vigorously every time removing as the mixture tends to thicken more around the edges of the bowl so it must be blended all together) cook until thickened and smooth, in my microwave it takes about 8 minutes to thicken.
• Pour the filling into baked cooled pie crust; cool for 20 minutes on the counter then place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the cooked filling.
• Refrigerate for 6 hours or until very firm (can leave in the fridge for up to 24 hours).
• In a large well-chilled bowl beat 1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream until just thickened, then add in 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar and continue beating until quite stiff (you may refrigerate the whipped cream until ready to use).
• After pie is cooled remove plastic wrap and top with whipped cream, sprinkle cooled toasted coconut over the whipped cream, serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
• OPTIONAL; for toasting coconut; set oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place about 1/2 cup coconut on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown stirring occasionally (about 4-5 minutes, watch closely do not burn as the coconut browns quickly!).
• Sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the whipped cream.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a lage saucepan place the sugar, water, strawberry gelatin powder and cornstarch; bring to a boil and boil mixing constantly for about 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and add in red food colouring (use as much food colouring as you wish to acheive the colour desired).
• Fold in 7 cups sliced strawberries; toss well with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
• Transfer to prepared crust.
• Refrigerate for about 4 hours or until completely set.
• Top pie with whipped cream.
• Place more sliced strawberries on top of whipped cream if desired in a decorative fashion.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees.
• For the coconut-cracker crust: In a bowl, stir together 1 cup coconut, the graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter. Press onto bottom and side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
• For filling: In a large heavy saucepan, heat milk and 1 cup coconut just to simmering, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, granulated sugar and flour. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Stir egg mixture into remaining mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
• Remove from the heat. Stir in the 2 tablespoons creme de cacao and the 1 tablespoon butter. Cover the surface with clear plastic wrap. Cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt white chocolate with the 1 tablespoon cream over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread onto bottom and side of pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator until chocolate is firm.
• Pour filling into crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours.
• In chilled bowl, beat the 2 cups whipping cream, the powdered sugar, and the 1 tablespoon creme de cacao until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight), if desired. Swirl whipped cream over chilled filling. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Garnish with toasted coconut or white chocolate curls.
• Note: If pie isn't served all at once, top only the pieces to be served with whipped cream. Refrigerate remaining whipped cream and pie separately.
