From The Joy: The Robber LOVES this pie. I made it on our ninth day of marriage and it just about blew his socks right off his Robber body. I love this man. Check out the bottom for a sweet picture of our pie!
Ingredients:
2/3 C. sugar
1/2 C. flour
1/2 t. salt
2 C. milk (Note: I use 1 C. coconut milk, 1 C. cow's milk)
2 whole eggs or 3 egg yolks
2 T. butter
2 t. extract -- vanilla, coconut, etc.
1/2 - 1 C. coconut
One baked half pie shell
1/3 C. toasted coconut
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
Directions:
1. In saucepan, combine sugar, flour, salt, milk. Beat in eggs/egg yolks and heat, stirring continuously until thickened. Take off heat, add butter and extract.
2. Stir in coconut. Pour into pie shell, cover completely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for three hours or until completely cooled and solidified. Cooling overnight is best.
3. Just before serving, toast coconut on cookie sheet in oven at 400F until it barely changes color. Whip cream and add a bit of sugar to sweeten it. Spread whipped cream over surface of pie and sprinkle toasted coconut over the whipping cream. Enjoy!
