Ingredients

Servings

• Crust Ingredients
• 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• Filling Ingredients
• 1 can Coconut milk
• 1.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded coconut
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Toasted coconut flakes, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
4. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt for the filling. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan.
6. Continue cooking the filling over medium heat until it reaches a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut.
7. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
