Description

Indulge in the nostalgic comfort of this classic Cocoanut Custard Pie. The filling is a luxurious blend of sweetened milk, thickened with flour and enriched with egg yolks, creating a smooth, pudding-like texture infused with vanilla. Freshly grated coconut adds a delightful chewiness and authentic tropical aroma. The pie is crowned with a cloud-like egg white meringue, sweetened and toasted to a perfect golden brown in the oven. This dessert strikes the ideal balance between creamy richness and airy lightness. It is a wonderful centerpiece for Sunday dinners, holiday gatherings, or any occasion where you want to treat your guests to a homemade, old-fashioned favorite that tastes like love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325&# 194;°F (163ðC) and prepare one unbaked pie shell.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the egg yolks, sugar, and milk.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture begins to simmer.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the flour with a little cold water to form a smooth slurry.
  5. Gradually stir the flour slurry into the milk mixture, continuing to cook and stir until the custard thickens significantly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Allow the custard to cool slightly, then fold in half of the grated coconut.
  8. Pour the coconut custard filling into the prepared pie shell.
  9. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and frothy peaks form.
  10. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  11. Spread the meringue over the custard, sealing the edges to the crust.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining grated coconut over the top of the meringue.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
  14. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
