Coconut Cream Pie with Coconut Milk Tips

The pudding needs to heat slowly over medium low heat because otherwise you will cause the egg yolks to scramble, adding an unpleasant texture to the pudding. If you want to heat the mixture faster and without having to watch it so closely, you can temper in the egg yolks after the mixture has already heated to boiling.

This recipe can be made using all coconut milk, simply replace the one cup of cow’s milk with coconut milk.

If you like less whipped cream, you can halve the amount of whipped cream you use for the pie.

It is important to chill the pie completely before serving so that it has a chance to set up. If the pie is warm when you add the whipped cream to the top, you can melt the cream and cause it to run off the top of the pie.

Cover the pie with a layer of plastic wrap that is touching the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming on your pie.
