Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk together sugar, coconut milk, and 1 cup of whole milk over high heat and scald (take off the heat right before it boils - when you see little bubbles start to rise on edges of the pot), set aside
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk remaining 1/2 cup milk with corn starch, set aside
Step 3
In yet another bowl, whisk salt with egg yolks
Step 4
Whisk in about a half cup of the scalded mixture to the yolk mixture until completely incorporated. Add that yolk mixture and the corn starch mixture back into the pot with the scalded mixture and whisk over medium high heat until it turns into a thick pudding. Remove from heat and stir in butter, extracts, and coconut.
Step 5
Pour over crust and place back in the refrigerator while making the whipped cream
