Automat Coconut Cream Pie

Created by dienia b on August 7, 2023

Step 1: In a bowl, mix sugar, flour, and salt with a whisk and set aside.
Step 2: Add egg yolk when you temper this mixture. It had the egg yolk in it 1st but I think that won't work. Put the milk in dry mixture first and add beaten egg yolk.
Step 3: In a medium saucepan, heat milk over medium-high heat, but do not boil.
Step 4: Add 1/2 cup heated milk to egg yolk mixture and whisk until most lumps are out.
Step 5: Slowly add egg yolk mixture to remaining heated milk in saucepan.
Step 6: Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Step 7: Add butter, coconut extract and vanilla and stir until well mixed.
Step 8: Remove from heat and stir in coconut.
Step 9: Pour into pie crust.
Step 10: Chill at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 11: Meanwhile, beat heavy cream with extract and sugar until billowing, don't over beat you will get butter. lol
Step 12: Top with whipped cream just before serving.
Step 13: I top the pie with 2 tablespoons toasted coconut.
Step 14: To toast shredded coconut, spread it on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden.
Step 15: Watch carefully so it won't burn.
