Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 teaspoon light cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces whipped cream
Instructions:
- Begin by baking the pie crust according to the package directions, then allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
- In a double boiler or bain-marie, combine the milk, light cream, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the boiling milk mixture, stirring constantly until thickened.
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until they become light in texture. Gradually add the thickened milk mixture to the beaten egg yolks, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Mix until well combined.
- Return the combined mixture to the double boiler and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the filling is smooth and thickened.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sweetened flaked coconut. Allow the filling to cool slightly, then let it stand for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Pour the coconut cream filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Once the filling has set, remove the plastic wrap and generously top the pie with whipped cream, spreading it out into a smooth layer.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, garnish the pie with additional toasted coconut flakes or chocolate shavings, if desired.
- Slice and serve this Dreamy No-Bake Coconut Cream Pie to your delighted guests, reveling in the creamy coconut goodness and decadent Golden Oreo crust. Enjoy every heavenly bite of this irresistible dessert creation!
