1️⃣ Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) in preparation for baking this heavenly pie.
2️⃣ Create the Coconut Custard Filling
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk, and coconut milk. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined.
3️⃣ Cook and Thicken the Mixture
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This process will give the custard its creamy and velvety texture.
4️⃣ Temper the Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. This step is crucial as it will temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling or scrambling when added back into the hot milk mixture.
5️⃣ Combine and Thicken Further
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook the combined mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, for an additional 2 minutes or until it thickens further. This ensures the custard reaches the perfect consistency.
6️⃣ Add the Finishing Touches
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sweetened shredded coconut. The coconut shreds add a delightful texture and enhance the tropical flavor.
7️⃣ Fill the Pie Crust
Pour the creamy coconut custard filling into the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring an even distribution. Smooth the top with a spatula for a neat presentation.
8️⃣ Bake and Golden Brown
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling sets to a delightful consistency.
9️⃣ Cool and Chill
Allow the pie to cool completely, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or until it’s chilled and ready to be savored.
