Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (or recipe)
- 1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut (for the toasted coconut topping)
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 5 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Method
Step 1
Prepare pie crust according to blind-baking instructions of recipe.
Step 2
For the Toasted Coconut Topping. Spread coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Place into 350º F oven for 8-10 minutes until coconut has just begun to turn brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
For the Coconut Custard. Pour coconut milk and half-and-half into a liquid measuring cup. Add egg yolks and whisk together with milks. Set aside.
Step 4
Add sugar and cornstarch to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk egg and milk mixture together once more and then slowly begin to add to the sugar and cornstarch, whisking together constantly. Bring custard mixture to a boil. Switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and continue to stir constantly. Boil one minute.
Step 5
Remove from heat and add butter, coconut, vanilla and salt. Spread custard into pie crust. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 30-45 minutes.
Step 6
Spread whipped cream on top of coconut custard. Refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, top with toasted coconut.
