Coconut Cream Meringue Pie

This is a pie that was created for our daughter's birthday. She loved her grandmother's coconut cream pie. We did not have the exact recipe so we came up with this. It could take up to 30 minutes for the custard to get thick and come to a boil.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

1 ½ cups half-and-half
1 ½ cups coconut milk
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
3 egg whites
6 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup flaked coconut

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Stir half-and-half, coconut milk, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and salt together in a saucepan, stirring constantly; slowly bring to a boil over low heat. Cook until thick, about 30 minutes. Off heat, fold in 3/4 cup flaked coconut and vanilla extract; pour into pie crust.
Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add 6 tablespoons white sugar and cream of tartar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Spread egg white mixture over pie. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup flaked coconut over top.
Bake in the preheated oven until top golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely to the touch on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
