The Best Coconut Cream Pie

- Coconut cream pie is my favorite. I've made this recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas for years. This is the best recipe. Cream pies are easy but you have to stir, stir & stir some more. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups milk
4 egg yolks
3 T butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup coconut flakes
For meringue: 4 egg whites, 1/4 tsp cream of tarter, 1/3 cup sugar, sprinkle of coconut
Directions:
Before you make the cream , bake a pie crust (homemade or store bought) .
For the filling:
Put sugar, flour, salt and milk in a pot on medium heat. Whisk continuously to remove lumps then continue stirring until thick and bubbly. Turn heat to low and continue to stir another minute or two while custard continues to thicken. Turn heat off. Separate egg yolks from whites. Save the whites for the meringue. Slightly beat the eggs in a bowl then add a small amount (up to 1/4 of custard) . Be sure to stir the yolk while adding the custard to the bowl. It's important to stir when custard hits the egg to incorporate before the egg cooks from the heat. Now add that mixture back to the pot with the custard and keep stirring. Turn heat back on low and stir a couple more minutes. Add butter, coconut & vanilla and stir until butter melts. Pour the custard filling into the baked pie crust.
For the meringue: Be sure egg whites are in a clean, dry bowl . Mix on high speed till frothy then add 1/4 tsp cream of tarter, let it froth a little more then add 1/3 cup of sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. (If yolk is in the whites or bowl is wet , the egg whites will not get stiff)
Pour the meringue on top of pie and spread to cover the custard and crust. Sprinkle coconut flakes on top. Bake on 350 until peaks & coconut have browned.
Enjoy the best coconut pie ever!
If you want to make banana cream. omit the coconut and put about 3-4 sliced bananas on baked pie crust then pour prepared custard (without coconut) on top. Add meringue & bake to brown meringue.

This is the recipe my mother used. I remember that she would assign the stirring job to me while she attended to other matters. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve made it this way for years. I think the 1st time I made it , I followed a Betty Crocker recipe
Come across this looking for this recipe that I misplaced. I'm sooo happy I found it, thank you so much!!

This is just the recipe I have been looking for a long time. It's hard to find one that's cream and not custard!! Thank You so much!! I'll be making this week.
Looks very good and just the kind I've been looking for. My mom use to make it just like you. I'm 71 and never attempted to make a coconut pie, but now I will. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas.
Oh I love coconut cream pie. It's my favorite, I lived on Morrison's cafeterias when I was pregnant with my daughter.
I am making this pie this week... I temper my eggs when I add them to a hot mixture. That pot is nice and high...I use the leftover egg whites for meringue when I make key lime pie.
I watching this between making cookies.. I'm making them for Apache and two other people. They going to be late .... oh well I think they be there Friday.
I love your apron
Thank you Jodi
Love and many blessings
I hope your coconut cream turned out perfect . I need a good key lime pie recipe. I bet yours is wonderful !
Looks so good 😃
That is a gorgeous coconut cream pie! Looking forward to trying your recipe for it!
I'm going to try this!
I agree with how you incorporated the egg yolks. You tempered them first so they didn’t “fry” like you said. …. Smart move. Thank you for teaching me this. Tomorrow I’m making two. One for my aunt and uncle and one for my house.
Looks so easy.
Looks delicious and easy too. My dad's favorite pie and the last thing he ate before he passed. My husband has been wanting a coconut cream pie and this looks so easy. I love making things from scratch. Thank you for sharing this.
Yum. Homemade filling is the way to go..

I will make. I've learned the topping mine turned out good. I use my standard mixer
Want pie now

You’ll love this - it’s my favorite pie . A friend shared how to make a coconut cream pie in the microwave . It’s the next video I’ll put up in next week or 2.
...and merry x'mas to you , as well ❤❤❤
Your coconut cream pie looks yummy .. I will definitely give it a try . Thanks for sharing this.❤
This is the same way I cook coconut pie pudding only I use 1/2 cup of sugar, A cup to is to sweet, and I cook my yolks with the pudding, and I have no problem with it all cooking together, it turns out perfect every time
My grandma always cooked the eggs in the pudding. I’m afraid they’ll cook too fast. But it sounds like you’ve got your technique down . It’s less messy than my way for sure!
I don’t understand how adding the eggs at the end is any different from adding them at the beginning. Does it affect the custard somehow?
Did you use plain flour or self rising flour?
Is the coconut sweet or unsweetened
Made from scratch just like my Mom used to make.
Do u use sweet coconut or plain.
Someone needs to buy her a real whisk!
Can I use coconut milk instead of regular milk?
I’ve never tried coconut milk
I was wondering that too.
Yes you can use coconut milk.
This is actually a coconut meringue pie. Coconut cream pies are different.
Come on - yes you DO have a fancy egg separator thing - it's called your PALM (but only if you know how to use it....)
Lol
The cream of tarter imparts no flavor, it does stabilize the egg whites and prevents them from melting and turning into what some describe as calf slobber!😂
I agree
It’s not a coconut cream pie this is a coconut meringue pie.
3/4 to 1 cup of Coconut is in the filling . It’s coconut pie
@@homecookingwithjodi7611 It’s a coconut meringue pie not a coconut cream pie because it doesn’t have a cream topping Instead it has a meringue topping
Msn, I want to be yiur fruend❤❤❤❤
I’ve never understood the fascination with meringue. I always scraped it off to get to the good part. LOL
That’s not coconut cream pie. That’s coconut meringue pie. Cream pies are topped with cream.
That’s what we call it in the south.
@@summersez1673 🤔 not in the part of the south that I live in.
Well you can see by these comments that most do. I’m from Texas and all of us call it a coconut cream pie. It’s really not that big of a deal.
Can I use coconut milk instead of regular milk?
Whole milk works best . I’ve never tried coconut milk . If you try it , please let us know
I was wondering the same thing! I bought a can of coconut milk & a little bottle of coconut extract to use.
Yes you can use coconut milk.
