Coconut Cream Piemakes a mouthwatering pie with flaky, buttery dough enveloping a luscious, creamy custard coconut filling. Tropical flavor shines thanks to coconut milk, toasted coconut flakes, and fresh whipped cream topping. This dessert literally melts in your mouth! 😋
When a holiday celebration arrives, there can never be enough pies on the table. In fact, in my family, youll rarely see just 2 or 3 pies during these kinds of gatherings.
Once, we set a record at my sisters Thanksgiving party where there were seven kinds of pie! And Im that kind of girl who forgets the main course and simply piles up my plate with different slices of pies. I absolutely love baked treats!
And our recipe for today is special to me because, hello! Im a huuuge coconut fan. And this coconut cream pie here is every coconut lovers dream! A plus is not having to temper the egg yolks because we simmer all the custard ingredients together.
What Is Coconut Cream Pie?An easy coconut cream pie is an American one-crust pie (meaning the crust covers the bottom and the sides only). Then, fill that flaky crust with a rich, decadent custard commonly made with milk, cream, sugar, and eggs.
