Do you want to know what
Fraser requested for his birthday dessert?
Cake?
No ~
he asked for THIS!
And was I ever happy!
Summer is not the time to be heating up
the house with BAKING a cake!
And this pie does not heat up the house
one little bit!
Well, I suppose just for baking the shell,
but it's so quickly done.
You could even buy the pre-made kind!
The P.E.R.F.E.C.T. summer dessert.
And really so
EASY!
~ Coconut Cream Pie ~
From a friend long ago...
printed out from her computer's stash of recipes...
Thank you Grace! :)
~ Ingredients ~
For the filling you will need ~
2/3 cup Sugar (I use organic evaporated cane juice)
1/2 cup Organic Flour
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
3 cups Organic Milk
4 Egg Yolks, slightly beaten
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Butter
1 cup Medium Unsweetened Coconut
For the topping you will need ~
2 cups Whipping Cream (measured before whipping)
2 Tbsp Sugar and 1 tsp Vanilla to flavour the cream when you whip it
3 Tbsp Toasted Coconut
(you can do this by spreading the coconut onto a parchment-lined
cookie sheet in the oven at 250 degrees for a few minutes...
it doesn't take long and will burn easily ~ watch closely)
1 Deep Dish Pie Shell, baked ~
I used a graham crumb crust this time
(Follow the directions on the side of the box of crumbs)
Or make your own pastry crust ~
It really is a personal preference thing.
~ Directions ~
Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Mix together the milk and egg yolks in a separate bowl
and whisk into the flour mixture in the pan.
Be sure to mix well and turn on the heat to medium.
Cook until mixture boils ~ stirring constantly.
Boil and stir for one minute.
Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and butter.
Then stir in coconut.
Pour into baked shell.
Cover with parchment paper and chill till firm and cool.
Spread whipped cream on top to cover evenly.
Sprinkle with toasted coconut to garnish.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 6 more hours.
Try to share with seven friends/loved ones.
ENJOY!

Wow, that looks awesome. My African children will LOVE it...as they love anything coconut.
Thanks for sharing.
If I hadn't just taken a peach cobbler out of the oven this would be on the agenda tonight...oh well there's always tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this looks amazing, Robin
That pie sounds delicious. My son loves coconut. Lord willing I will make this for him very soon.
Thank you for sharing,
Virginia
Looks delicious, Camille! I'll have to try it sometime.
I hope you're not affected by the fires in BC. We heard of another homeschooler, Kelley, whose family members are close to them.
Oh my. Someone made something similar for Little Man's baby shower. It was SOOOO good. I can only imagine!
Well, Yumm! I bet that was gone in a flash! Even without seven friends/loved ones! ;~P
Hope Fraser's day was spectacular!
Blessings!
Dear Patty ~ Actually, dangerously so! ;-)
Dear Jill ~ I do hope your family enjoys it! :)
Dear Treasures ~ Yummy coconut! If you do make it for them...enjoy! :)
Welcome Robin ~ Lovely to "meet" you! If you do make it you will find it gets rave reviews...enjoy! :)
Dear Virginia ~ Coconut is a hit wherever it goes...I hope your son approves of the pie! AND...I have your sour cream coffee cake ready to go into the oven this morning...YUM! Thank you for sharing the recipe. :)
Dear Teresa ~ Thank you for your concern...no, we are not near the fires. BC is so HUGE and we are far away...I appreciate you asking! :)
Dear J ~ Maybe you will make it sometime for some fortunate people...it's really easy. :)
Dear Raeann ~ Actually, we managed to have one piece left over for the next day...it was strategically divided when the time came! And to you..."Welcome Home"...sounds like you had a fabulous time away! :)
Blessings to you each one!
In His Love,

Oh my that looks good, that is my favorite pie, and was my daddys too, I am writing down this recipe, looks like it is tried and proven, hugs thanks and blessings, Barbara
Dear Barbara ~ Yes, it is definitely "tried and proven"...my friend made it for a church gathering and it disappeared. Without even trying it I asked for the recipe and have not been disappointed that I did! I hope it will meet with your approval. :)
Blessings,
Camille

Oh my gosh, my mouth is seriously watering! I'd rather have pie than cake for my birthday, too.
BTW, left you a comment on my chicken whisperer post.
Have a great day!
Dear Jackie ~ Thanks for stopping by! LOL...yup, it's the mouth-watering kind of dessert! Only to be enjoyed very occasionally. :)
Have a wonderful evening!
Blessings,
Camille
That pie really looks good...maybe it should be called "coconut cream...make lots of friends when you share it" pie :) :) :) :) That's so sweet, that your son requested this :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Yes Heather...I agree ~ it could be called that! :) I do hope you give it a try...it's easy and yummy.
Blessings to you!
In Him,
Camille
I suspect those recopies will lead me astray.
