Toasted Coconut Pie Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Thoroughly mix together : eggs , sugar , butter , lemon juice and vanilla ; stir in coconut.
• 2. Pour coconut mixture into pie shell.
• 3. Bake @ 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted half way between center and the edges comes out clean.
• 4. I like to garnish with a dessert topping and sprinkle some toasted coconut on top or some whip cream and coconut..yummy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract. Reserve the remaining coconut to top the pie.
• Pour the filling into the pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours.
• Top with whipped topping and with the reserved coconut.

Steps:

• 1. To make the crust: Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives used scissors-fashion until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over the mixture, stirring with a fork to moisten it evenly. Continue adding water until the dough just begins to come together when a small bit is pressed between your fingers; do not overwork the dough. Press the dough together into a ball and knead lightly. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 2 days.
• 2. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F.
• 3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12- to 13-inch round. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch glass pie plate and gently press the pastry against the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Turn the overhang under and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom and sides of the shell with a fork.
• 4. Line the pie shell with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, pressing it snugly into the bottom and against the sides, and fill with uncooked rice or beans. Bake the crust for 12 minutes. Remove the foil and rice and bake for 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
• 5. To make the filling: Bring the coconut milk just to a boil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• 6. Beat the sugar and egg yolks with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large deep bowl until very thick and pale and the volume has increased at least three times. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in the flour, cornstarch, and salt, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. While beating, gradually pour in the warm coconut milk. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until it comes to a boil and thickens, then boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, and whisk until melted. Add 3/4 cup of the coconut and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla.
• 7. Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl and let cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for about 2 hours, until thoroughly chilled and set, or for up to 1 day.
• 8. Beat the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large deep bowl until it holds stiff peaks when the beaters are lifted. Beat in the remaining vanilla. With a rubber spatula, fold about one-quarter of the whipped cream into the pastry cream.
• 9. Transfer the pastry cream to the crust and smooth the top with a small offset spatula. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top with the clean offset spatula. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 4 hours, before serving.
• 10. Sprinkle the top of the pie with the remaining toasted coconut. Serve cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Mix chocolate, 1 cup COOL WHIP and 1/4 cup coconut until blended. Spread onto bottom of pie crust. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min.; pour into crust. Let stand 5 min. Top with remaining COOL WHIP and coconut.
• Refrigerate 4 hours.

Steps:

• Defrost a frozen deep-dish pie crust for 15 minutes. Poke with a fork in several places.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes in the oven.
• Cool crust on the counter.
• In a frying pan, over medium heat, toast 1 1/2 cups of coconut. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes stirring gently until lightly toasted. Set aside. The time differs depending on the type of stovetop.
• With a hand mixer, blend together the egg yolks and sugar. Mix until it's smooth and has a pale yellow color (a couple of minutes).
• Whisk together the coconut milk and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
• Heat the mixture in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes (until hot).
• Add 1/4 cup of the hot coconut milk and heavy cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture; whisk together.
• Add the rest of the mixture into the bowl.
• Transfer to a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. When it comes to a rapid bubble (not boil), let it bubble for one minute.
• Turn off heat and whisk in corn starch.
• Then, stir in butter until melted and well combined.
• Stir in salt.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• Lastly, stir in the toasted coconut until well combined.
• Move the filling to another bowl. Set it on the counter to cool for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming on top of the custard.
• Pour the cooled filling into the pie crust.
• Cover with a pie plate cover or plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.
• With a mixer, mix 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream with 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Beat on a medium-high speed until fluffy.
• Spread the whipped cream on top of the chilled coconut cream filling. Chill for a couple of hours until the cream is firm.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut on top of the pie.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add coconut and pecans. Toss well, and saute until coconut is lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk and mix until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread 1/4 of cream cheese mixture into each pastry shell. Sprinkle 1/4 of coconut mixture over each pie. Drizzle 1/2 of caramel topping over each coconut layer. Follow with remaining cream cheese mixture, then remaining coconut mixture.
• Pies may be served chilled or frozen.
