Lime Coconut Cream Pie Jars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing filling., Finely grate, peel and squeeze juice from limes; place both in a blender. Add 1 cup coconut, coconut milk, eggs, sugar, flour, salt and, if desired, extract. Cover and process until blended. Add remaining 1 cup coconut; cover and pulse just until combined. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate (pie will be full)., Bake on a lower oven rack 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate until cold., In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Spread over pie. Sprinkle with toasted coconut before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Spread mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Spread coconut flakes in an even layer on another rimmed baking sheet.
• Place both sheets in oven; bake until coconut is golden, 8 to 10 minutes; and graham-cracker mixture is darker-golden and fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes. Let coconut cool completely (it can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week). Divide graham-cracker mixture evenly among six 8-ounce glass jars or glasses; gently press to create an even layer (a metal ice cream scoop is great for this). Transfer to refrigerator.
• Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Add egg yolks; whisk to combine. Whisk in coconut milk and half and half; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 4 minutes. Continue to boil, whisking constantly, 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in lime zest and juice and sweetened coconut. Add butter; whisk until melted.
• Transfer pudding to a large heat-proof liquid measure with a spout; let cool about 10 minutes. Divide pudding among jars, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of each (to stop skins from forming), and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 1/2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Whisk cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Dollop mixture on top of puddings and refrigerate, uncovered, up to 1 hour, or serve immediately, topped with toasted coconut and more lime zest.

Steps:

• Combine the cream of coconut, lime juice and half of the zest in a blender and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.
• Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and very thin. Dip a fork into the chocolate and drizzle over the frozen pie. Sprinkle the remaining zest on top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until the chocolate sets, then slice and serve.

Steps:

• For the pie: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk together the yolks, zest, condensed milk, lime juice, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Cover and set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Combine the graham crackers, coconut, and sugar in a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the butter and process until the mixture just comes together. Pat onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly golden brown and firm, about 10 minutes.
• Add the thickened filling to the warm crust, return to the oven, and bake the pie until the center is firm but jiggles slightly when shaken, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover the surface and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 3 hours.
• For the whipped cream: Combine the whipping cream, coconut cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until soft peaks form.
• To serve: Mound the coconut whipped cream on top and sprinkle with toasted coconut.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Set jars onto a jelly roll pan or baking sheet.
• Place graham crackers in a Ziploc bag and smash to crumbs with a rolling pin. Add to a medium bowl along with the sugar and pinch of salt. Stir with a fork until incorporated. Drizzle melted butter into the crumb and sugar mixture; stir with a fork until blended.
• Spoon graham cracker crumb mixture into each of the four jars, dividing evenly among the jars. Press very slightly into the bottom and up the sides, but don't compact the crumbs like you would a normal graham cracker crumb crust, or the crust will compact too much in the bottom of the jar and won't come up easily with a spoon.
• Zest one of the limes. Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest to a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk until all ingredients are well-combined. Dividing the mixture evenly, filling into the jars.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the filling no longer jiggles.
• Let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cover with lids and bands and refrigerate for at least two hours, until chilled.
• To serve, top with whipped cream, a lime slice, and tall parfait spoons.
• Keeps for up to three days in the refrigerator (add whipped cream and garnish right before serving).

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until smooth and thick and the beaters leave a ribbon when lifted out of the bowl, 3-4 minutes. Using a flexible spatula, fold in the key lime juice and ½ teaspoon key lime zest until just combined.
• Place the jars on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 scant tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each jar. Reserve the remaining crumbs. Press down firmly on the crumbs in the jars to form a packed, even layer.
• Divide the filling evenly between the jars, about ¼ cup (25 G) per jar. Cover the jars with the lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• In a medium bowl, whip the remaining ⅓ cup (80 ML) heavy cream and the powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
• When ready to serve, top each jar with a dollop of whipped cream, the remaining cookie crumbs, and the remaining ½ teaspoon lime zest. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
