Sometimes I think this pie is the only one I need for the rest of my life. It seems to have everything, a thick, creamy vanilla coconut custard, soft and chewy coconut, toasted coconut and whipped cream. Getting the perfect bite is not difficult!

How To Make coconut custard cream pie (pleasin' pies)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 1/2 cup coconut on baking sheet and bake until golden brown (stir occasionally). This should take about 5-6 minutes but watch it carefully so it doesn't burn. Set aside.

2
Combine coconut milk, half and half, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for two minutes stirring constantly.
3
Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, coconut extract and the unbaked coconut.
4
Pour filling into pie shell and chill at least 3-4 hours until firm.
5
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
