Recipe Note

Course: Dessert, Party Recipe, Pie

Cuisine: American, Steakhouse

Keyword: Pie Recipe, The Capital Grille

Ingredients

Crust

  • 7 1/2 ounces Shortbread Cookies finely ground
  • 1 1/4 cups loosely packed Sweetened Flaked Coconut
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted

Custard

  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 large Egg Yolks
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour packed
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch packed
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Malibu Rum or other Coconut Flavored Rum of choice
  • 5 tablespoons Cream of Coconut stir well before using
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk stir well before using
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Whipped Cream and Topping

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Malibu Rum or other Coconut Flavored Rum of choice
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes, toasted in a skillet until golden and cooled (See Note above)

Instructions

Crust

  • Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Add cookie crumbs, coconut and melted butter to a food processor. Pulse until coconut is finely ground.

  • Press 1/2 cup crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

  • Place in preheated oven and bake until golden, about 15 to 18 minutes.

  • Remove from oven and cool completely in the pan on a rack. If it shrinks or cracks a bit, simply press it back together and up the sides while it's still hot.

Filling

  • In a medium bowl, add eggs, egg yolks, sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

  • In a medium saucepan, combine coconut rum, cream of coconut, coconut milk and whole milk.

  • Place over medium heat. Bring to a boil then immediately remove from heat.

  • Whisking constantly, very slowly ladle about a cup of the hot rum/milk mixture into the egg mixture. Whisk quickly and well to combine.

  • Whisking constantly, very gradually add remaining rum/milk mixture to egg mixture in 3 or 4 additions, whisking contantly and well to combine.

  • Return mixture to the sauce pan. Place over medium-high heat, cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture reaches a boil and thickens, about 2 minutes. The filling must boil for at least 30 seconds in order to fully thicken.

  • Remove from heat and add butter. Whisk until fully incorporated.

  • Pour hot filling into cooled pie shell. Smooth surface with a spatula.

  • Press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the filling.

  • Place in refrigerator and cool until firm, at least 3 hours and up to 10 hours. (Any longer than 10 hours and the crust will start to soften.)

Whipped Cream and Topping

  • Up to 3 hours before serving, preheat oven to 350°F.

  • In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream, sugar and coconut rum with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

  • Top the pie with whipped cream.

  • Sprinkle with cooled toasted coconut.

Serve

  • Carefully remove the rim from the pan by gently pressing upwards on the bottom while holding the rim in place.

  • Cut into wedges, wiping your knife clean between slices.

  • Serve cold.

FAQs

Does Mrs Smith make a coconut cream pie? ›

Smith's Classic Coconut Custard Pie. 0 g trans fat per serving. Oven bake 65 min.

Where did coconut cream pie originate? ›

Although the general idea of a cream pie may be able to trace its roots back to Europe, the Coconut Cream Pie may actually be an American invention. In the 1800s, as Americans were enjoying tropical fruits such as bananas and pineapple, coconuts also became more accessible in the United States.

Why does my coconut cream pie get watery? ›

The fat content is too low in coconut milk that comes in cartons (also in lite canned coconut milk), and the pudding will turn out too soft and liquid. Make the topping less sweet. You can reduce the powdered sugar in the whipped topping if you want a less sweet pie, but it does make it slightly less stable.

Why is my coconut cream pie weeping? ›

Topping the hot filling with the room-temperature egg whites will cause the pie to weep. (The same thing will happen if the filling is an ice-box cold one, and the egg whites are added.) So that this doesn't happen, fill the pie shell and let the pie sit out until it is room temperature.

What state is known for cream pie? ›

Probably no other dessert conjures up nostalgia in a Hoosier like the rich, creamy dessert. It's believed the recipe was brought to eastern Indiana around 1810 by North Carolina Quakers, who settled in the Richmond, Winchester, New Castle and Portland areas. Sugar cream pie is the state's unofficial state pie.

Who made the first coconut cream pie? ›

No one is sure who made the first coconut cream pie, but by the early 20th century, you could find them anywhere.

Does a coconut cream pie need to be refrigerated? ›

Yes. As a rule of thumb, desserts that are rich in dairy should be refrigerated. This creamy coconut pie will last a reasonably long time when chilled, but the whipped cream topping will not keep at room temperature.

What happened to Mrs Smith's Pies? ›

In 1976, the Kellogg Company purchased Mrs. Smith's Pies for $56 million. Kellogg's sold its bakery division to The J.M. Smucker Co. in 1994 for $84 million.

Does Publix sell coconut cream Pies? ›

The price for this product is set by the individual retailers and varies among them.

Who makes cream of coconut? ›

The reigning champ of the commercial products is Coco Lopez, though it is becoming harder to find in countries outside of the US.
