Double Flavor Coconut Cream Pie Recipes

DOUBLE-COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Pie: On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. Line dough with parchment; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake until edges begin to turn golden and bottom of crust is dry, 30 to 35 minutes.Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake until bottom and sides are golden brown, 10-15 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. (Crust can be made up to a day in advance and covered tightly in foil.)
• Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in coconut milk; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbling and thick, about 7 minutes (about 2 minutes after it comes to a boil).
• Whisk egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl until combined. Add coconut-milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to pan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it returns to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Boil 1 minute more, whisking constantly.
• Remove from heat; add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each piece melts before adding next. Whisk in coconut. Transfer pan to wire rack; let cool, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Pour custard into crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate until custard is chilled and firm, at least 6 hours and up to 2 days.
• Topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk cream to soft peaks. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; whisk until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over custard. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, uncovered, up to 1 hour. Top with toasted coconut just before serving.

DOUBLE COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Vigorously shake the coconut milk cans before opening, then pour into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil, stirring the side and bottom of the pan frequently, especially toward the end of cooking, until reduced to 2 cups, 12 to 18 minutes. Stir in the whole milk to bring the mixture to 3 cups. Set aside until warm or cool completely, cover, and refrigerate up to 2 days before proceeding with the recipe.
• Put the heavy cream in a small saucepan and heat until very warm. Keep the warm cream nearby along with the butter.
• Put the sugar and water in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook, stirring gently, over low heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stop stirring, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar begins to color around the edges of the pan, about 5 minutes. Swirl the pan over the heat until the caramel is an even deep amber color, another 1 to 2 minutes. (Test it by putting a drop on a white plate. If the caramel is too light, the sauce will be too sweet.) Slide the pan off the heat, and slowly add the warm heavy cream, butter, and salt. (Be careful-it will sputter, and the steam is hot.) Whisk until the caramel is smooth. If necessary, return the pan to the heat and continue whisking until the caramel dissolves, but do not boil. Set aside until slightly cooled, 15 to 20 minutes. (For faster cooling, set the bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice and a little water, stirring and scraping the sides frequently.)
• Measure out 3/4 cup of the caramel, and pour into the bottom of the baked and cooled piecrust. Spread evenly. Freeze the caramel-filled pie plate while making the filling. Cover and refrigerate the remaining caramel until ready to serve.
• Put the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk until well blended. Add 2/3 cup of the condensed coconut milk, and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks (or whole eggs, if using), and then the remaining condensed coconut milk.
• Set the pan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring with a whisk, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to medium and, whisking constantly, boil for 1 minute, then slide the pan off the heat. Add the butter and vanilla, and stir until the butter is melted and the pudding is smooth. Stir in the toasted coconut. Pour into a bowl or 4-cup measure, and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until no longer hot (the pudding will still feel warm), 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into the piecrust over the caramel, spread evenly, and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, if you like. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 5 hours.
• Put the heavy cream, mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on low speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar to taste. Increase the speed to medium high, and beat until the cream is thick and holds medium-firm peaks.
• Peel off the plastic from the filling. Scrape the topping onto the center of the pie and, using a small offset or silicone spatula, spread it to cover the filling, leaving the center slightly domed along with lots of swirls and peaks. Drizzle with some of the reserved caramel (slightly reheated) and scatter with toasted coconut. Serve immediately with the remaining caramel.
