Canned Coconut Milk: Canned coconut milk is a cooking ingredient, not a beverage.Combine the two first, then temper into the cooking mixture. Egg Yolks & Cornstarch: Egg yolks and cornstarch thicken the pie filling.The sweetened shredded coconut adds plenty of flavor. Don’t have coconut extract? Leave it out. Since coconut milk doesn’t have a very strong flavor, we’ll add sweetened shredded coconut and a splash of coconut extract. Let’s make a REAL coconut filling using thick coconut milk. Most of the time, coconut cream pie is nothing more than vanilla pudding with some coconut thrown on top. This baked pie crust “shell” is crispy, flaky, and ready for a creamy coconut filling. You can do this up to 3 days ahead of time!
Return to oven until the entire pie shell is golden brown.Remove pie weights, then prick the bottom with a fork.Bake until the edges are lightly brown, about 15 minutes.(Note: 2 packs of these pie weights is needed!) Carefully line the pie dough with parchment paper first, then pour in pie weights or even dry beans. To prevent the pie dough from completely losing its shape, weigh it down with pie weights. The melting fat causes the pie crust to shrink down the sides of the pie dish. As the pie dough bakes, its fat will melt. Chill the shaped pie crust for at least 30 minutes.Roll it out, then fit into your 9-inch pie dish.Pie crust must chill for at least 2 hours before rolling out. Make pie dough ahead of time, then refrigerate or freeze until you’re ready to make the pie.I repeat *some* information here, but I encourage you to review the tutorial prior to beginning this coconut cream pie recipe. I published an entire tutorial about blind baking pie crust. We obviously don’t want to eat raw pie dough, so we need a fully blind baked pie crust. Coconut cream pie, like French silk pie for example, is a no-bake pie– the filling does not go in the oven. Lemon meringue pie requires a partially baked pie crust because it will continue to bake with the filling. Some pie recipes call for fully baked crust and some recipes need a partially baked crust.
