Hi everyone! I have a delightful and nutty dessert to share with you that has been a part of my family history for many years – Old Fashioned Coconut Pie. The pie’s crust is warm and made with butter, the filling is creamy, and the coconut is toasted. It’s a perfect sweet treat for special occasions or just for a relaxing day. Let’s collect the necessary ingredients and start baking this pie!
INGREDIENTS FOR OLD FASHIONED COCONUT PIE:
Crust:
All-purpose flour: The addition of flour leads to the formation of a robust and crispy crust that can accommodate the filling without becoming limp.
Salt: Salt acts as a flavor enhancer for the crust and helps maintain the sweetness levels in the filling.
Unsalted butter: The addition of butter elevates the taste of the crust and the chill factor contributes to a crisp, flaky texture.
ice water: The dough is prevented from becoming too dry and held together by the addition of ice water.
Filling:
Sugar: It gives the filling a sweet flavor and contributes to its creamy texture.
Cornstarch: The filling is made thicker and more cohesive by the use of cornstarch.
Salt: Maintaining a filling’s balanced flavour depends heavily on salt.
Eggs: The addition of eggs results in a smooth custard-like texture in the filling, enhancing its richness.
whole milk: A creamy, smooth filling is produced with the aid of the milk.
vanilla extract: The filling’s flavor and scent come from it.
sweetened shredded coconut: gives the filling structure and a nutty flavor.
Topping:
Sweetened shredded coconut: The coconut gives the top of our pie a toasted, crispy layer.
