My dad's weakness? Coconut Cream Pie. I can't be bothered buying those powdered box mixes for "from scratch" pies so this is not the next best thing...it IS the best thing!
From "REAL" scratch pie.
First off have a baked pie shell all brown and cooled ready.
In a pot dump in one full can (398ml) of coconut milk, and a half a cup of whipping cream, 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar (or sweetener of choice), and 1/4 tsp of salt. Add 1/3 cup of corn starch.
On med/low heat stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook slowly until it is thickened. About 15 mins.
Remove from heat and stir in one cup of shredded coconut.
Pour in cooled pie crust and refrigerate for about 4 hours until firm.
Top with real whipped cream and toasted coconut before serving.
SEE!! No more work then a box mix and I bet it tastes a million times better!!
Useless meanderings of a unsuspecting mother, who's goal is to raise fairly normal triplets, get back to basics, while having a fairly normal life, and just to survive the day. A small town chicky who was transplanted into an even smaller fishing town....proving time and time again she doesn't have to eat lobster to cook it right and good parenting does not have anything to do with others perceptions.
