Coconut Cream Pie


Today I am participating in a very yummy carnival at Bake at 350.

This month's theme is pie, and I made my mom's coconut cream pie. After you get the recipe here and see how delicious it is ('cause I made one yesterday and took a picture!), go to Bake at 350 and check out all the other great pie recipes there this month.



Coconut Cream Pie

2/3 C sugar
1/3 C flour
2 C Evaporated milk
3 Egg yolks (you will need the whites for the meringue)
2 TBSP butter

Cook all of these ingredients until it makes a thick custard. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 bag of coconut. Pour mixture into baked pie crust.

Beat 3 egg whites in mixer, gradually adding 6 TBSP sugar, until stiff peaks form.

Add meringue to top of pie and sprinkle coconut on meringue. Place in oven under broiler to brown the coconut and meringue. Keep an eye on it because it will brown really quickly.

Enjoy!

  2. Coconut cream is one of my favorite pies. I love Cherry pie, but coconut comes in a close second.

    I saw you're reading a KK book. She goes to my church and I was her youngest son's Sunday school teacher for the past two years :-)
