Flaked coconut combined with A Taste of Thai Coconut Milk makes a rich and flavorful custard pie.

Ingredients

  • 1 homemade or frozen 9" pie crust
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-13.5 oz can Coconut Milk
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. If using a frozen pie crust, thaw for 15 minutes before baking. Line pie crust with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Add pie weights or 2 cups uncooked rice or beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Set on wire rack.
  3. Remove weights with parchment paper (save for other pie shell baking). Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  4. While pie crust is baking, add eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, coconut extract and salt to a mixing bowl. Beat well and set aside.
  5. Mix 1/4 cup of Coconut Milk and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  6. Stirring constantly over a medium heat (being careful not to boil), add remaining Coconut Milk and cook until Coconut Milk begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. Whisking constantly, pour hot Coconut Milk (a small amount at a time) into egg mixture. Pour coconut mixture into pre-baked pie shell and sprinkle with coconut.
  8. Bake 35-40 minutes or until the custard is firmly set. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
