Then slowly whisk the egg yolk mixture into the hot pudding mixture on the stove cooking for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Repeat the procedure several times until the egg yolks are warmed thoroughly. Then add a couple of tablespoons of the hot mix to 4 eggs yolks whisking until thoroughly incorporated. Reduce the heat to low, and in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Now in a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, coconut milk, and half and half. Place back in the oven and bake for an additional 14-15 minutes. Then using a fork, prick holes all over the bottom of the crust. Remove from the oven and carefully remove the weights and foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Line the pie crust with aluminum foil and fill it with pie weights, rice, beans, or sugar. Then refrigerate the crust for several hours. Next, gently tuck it into the pie pan, trim the edge about an inch over the side, tuck it in along the edge, and flute it. Then fold the piecrust or roll it around your rolling pin to move it to the pie plate.

Finally, form into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.Īfter the dough has thoroughly chilled, gently roll the pie crust out to a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.

Now add the chilled water a few tablespoons at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough pulls together. Then combine with the flour and salt using a pastry blender to cut in the butter until very crumbly. First, cut your chilled butter into small cubes. It is best to make the pie dough the day before you are making your pie so it can chill in the fridge overnight. This pie, Creamy Butterscotch Pie, Banana Cream Pie, and Key Lime Pie are just a few of our favorites. There is nothing better for dessert than a delicious cream pie! Don’t get me wrong! I love a good moist cake but give me a creamy, luscious pie, and I think I died and went to heaven. There is no boxed anything here! Just simply good old homemade deliciousness, just the way you remember your Grandmother making it. For all you coconut lovers, this is the ultimate dessert.
