Coconut, coconut, and more coconut is what this pie is made of. Crust of graham cracker crumbs and coconut, a thin layer of white chocolate, creamy coconut filling and to top it all off, whipped cream with the flavor of coconut.
Ingredients: 2 cups flaked coconut, 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup butter, melted, 2 cups milk, 1 cup flaked coconut, 6 egg yolks, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons white creme de cacao, 1 tablespoon butter, 4 ounces white baking chocolate, 1 tablespoon whipping cream, 2 cups whipping cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon white creme de cacao (optional).
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fo crust: combine 2 cups coconut, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter in bowl. Press onto bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes; cool.
For filling: In large saucepan, combine milk and 1 cup coconut. Bring just to simmering, stirring occasionally. In large bowl, combine egg yolks, granulated sugar, and flour. Beat with electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined. Slowly stir about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into yolk mixture. Return yolk mixture to saucepan. Bring to boiling, stirring often. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons creme de cacao and 1 tablespoon butter. Cover surface o filling with plastic wrap; cool.
Meanwhile, in small saucepan, cook and stir white chocolate (broken into pieces) and 1 tablespoon cream over low heat until melted. Spread onto bottom and sides of piecrust gently. Chill until firm. Pour filling into crust. Cover and chill for 2-4 hours.
For topping: In chilled medium bowl, beat 2 cups whipping cream, powdered sugar, and if desired, 1 tablespoon creme de cacao until stiff peaks form. Spread topping over filling. (If pie isn't served all at once, top only the pieces to be served with topping. Chill remaining topping and pie separately.) I garnished the top of each piece with some of the crust crumbs that remain when you slice each piece.
