Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup (75g) melted unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (480ml) full-fat coconut milk (canned)
- 1/3 cup (40g) cornstarch
- 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (100g) sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1.5 cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, ice cold
- 3 tbsp (35g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (50g) toasted coconut flakes
Instructions:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and golden. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, cornstarch, and salt. Place over medium heat, whisking constantly.
- Once the mixture begins to simmer, add the egg yolks in a steady stream while whisking vigorously to prevent curdling. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the filling is thick and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and toasted shredded coconut.
- Pour the coconut filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with an offset spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream topping over the chilled pie and garnish with toasted coconut flakes before serving.
