Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2½ cups heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust by mixing flour, shredded coconut, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Incorporate cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Roll out and fit into a pie dish, trimming excess.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Blind bake the crust for about 20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely.
  3. For the filling, heat milk with shredded coconut and vanilla bean until simmering. In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together. Temper the egg mixture with hot milk, then return to saucepan and cook until thickened. Stir in flour and softened butter.
  4. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
  5. For the topping, whip chilled heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract to stiff peaks. Spread over pie and garnish with coconut chips.
