Most of you in Active Rain do know that my secret passion is cooking. You name it Chinese, Italian..., roasts, whatever, I cook it, and I also enjoy eating it. Years ago I used to make a lot more cakes, pies, cookies, pastries, and my worlds famous "Jim's New York Cheesecake," but in the interest in keeping my weight down, I've not made any pastries, sweets or pies for many, many years. I think my doctors liked that decision. The holidays are a great time of year to fire up the old oven and dust off the chef's hat! Well today, I had a hankering for a coconut custard pie, and it's been so long I had to go online and look up the recipe. It must be 20 years since I made one last. What was very interesting was how simple it was to make. There really is not really any difference in aall the coconut custard pie recipes, other than sugar, temperature or the time cooked. I decided to go with this recipe because it used ½ cup less sugar. I know my Doctors would like that choice, and I will forgo telling them about the eggs, the coconut, and the butter.
Coconut Pie Recipe
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. flour
2 eggs + 1 extra yolk
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 cup of milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 (6 oz.) pkg. coconut
By hand, mix all ingredients well. Pour batter into a 9 inch unbaked deep dish pie shell and bake for 45 - 50 minutes at 350 degrees or until crust is brown and custard is firm. I even took a picture of the pie as it came out of the oven!
