COCONUT CREAM MERINGUE PIE



Coconut Cream Meringue Pie image

This is a pie that was created for our daughter's birthday. She loved her grandmother's coconut cream pie. We did not have the exact recipe so we came up with this. It could take up to 30 minutes for the custard to get thick and come to a boil.

1 ½ cups half-and-half

2 eggs, beaten

1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
3 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar

Categories     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Easter     Lemon     Coconut     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling

Meringue
6 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour, coconut, and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water in small bowl to blend. Add to processor and blend until mixture begins to clump together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling.)

Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and just begins to boil around edges, about 6 minutes. Add butter; whisk until smooth. Cool 10 minutes. Pour warm filling into crust.
  • For meringue:
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Gently fold 3/4 cup toasted coconut into meringue. Spread coconut meringue over warm filling, covering completely, sealing meringue to crust edges and mounding in center.
  • Bake pie 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F; bake 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut over pie; continue to bake until meringue is light golden brown and set when pie is shaken slightly, about 15 minutes longer.

Provided by hannahactually

Categories     Dessert

Time 37m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 paper cupcake liners (2 1/2 -inch size)
1 large lime, scrubbed (for 1 teaspoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
4 large eggs
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring or 1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup real key lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 large reserved egg whites
1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners. Set the pans aside.
  • Prepare the cupcake batter:.
  • With a citrus zester or fine grater, zest the lime and reserve one teaspoon. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over a strainer into a small bowl; you should have two tablespoons. Set aside.
  • Separate three of the eggs, place the whites in a large clean mixing bowl and the yolks in another mixing bowl.
  • Add the remaining egg, cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, coconut flavoring and lime zest and juice to the yolks. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides again if needed. The batter should look well blended.
  • Spoon or scoop 1/4 cup batter into each lined cupcake cup, filling it two thirds of the way full. Place the pans in the oven.
  • Bake the cupcakes until they are lightly golden and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for five minutes. Increase the oven heat to 450°F.
  • Run a dinner knife around the edges of the cupcake liners, lift the cupcakes up from the bottoms of the cups using the end of the knife, and pick them out of the cups carefully with your fingertips. Place them on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before filling.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Place the sweetened condensed milk and Key lime juice in a small bowl and stir to combine. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip. Press the tip 1/4 inch into the top center of each cooked cupcake and squeeze the bag to release about 1 tablespoon filling into the cupcake. Scrape off any excess filling with a rubber spatula. Place the cooled cupcakes nearly side by side on a baking sheet.
  • Prepare the meringue:.
  • Add the cream of tartar to the reserved egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until frothy, 45 seconds.
  • Add the coconut flavoring and one tablespoon of the sugar. Continue beating on high, adding one tablespoon sugar at a time, until the whites form stiff peaks (if you pull the beaters from the meringue, the meringue should extend from the beaters in straight stiff peaks).
  • Spoon two tablespoons meringue onto the top of each cupcake and swirl to spread it just to the edges with a short metal spatula or a spoon. Place the pan in the oven. Bake until the meringue is light nutty brown in color, five to six minutes.
  • Run a dinner knife around the edges of the cupcake liners, lift the cupcakes up from the bottoms of the cups using the end of the knife, and pick them out of the cups carefully with your fingers. Serve at once, or allow the cupcakes to cool 10 minutes, then serve.

COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH MERINGUE



Coconut Cream Pie with Meringue image

This simple coconut custard-filled pie would make a sweet ending to a hearty dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup margarine or lard, chilled (1/2 stick)
2 tablespoons butter, chilled
3 tablespoons ice-cold water
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon plus 1 pinch salt
2 cups milk
3 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut margarine and butter into small pieces and add to bowl. Working quickly using a knife or pastry blender, cut flour and fat together until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle water over surface, mixing it quickly just until dough forms a smooth ball. Flatten dough into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll one piece chilled dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan (refrigerate the other piece of pastry for another occasion). Fold over edges and pinch all around. Line pastry with parchment paper and weigh it down with dried beans or pebbles. Blind-bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove paper and weights. Return crust to oven to bake for 5 more minutes or until light golden-brown.
  • Make the filling: In a bowl that will fit over a pan of boiling water (or in a double boiler), combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Heat milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until small bubbles appear at the edges. Using a whisk to stir, pour scalded milk into flour mixture and cook over medium heat until it thickens, 3-4 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and add 1/2 cup hot custard mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into custard (still on the stove top). Blend in butter and vanilla. Cook 6 minutes more. Remove from heat. Fold in 1 cup coconut.
  • Spoon custard filling into the cooked piecrust. Smooth it out evenly. Chill thoroughly, until set.
  • In a large bowl, whip egg whites until stiff. Add superfine sugar, pinch of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar and continue to whip for 2 minutes until glossy and stiff peaks are formed.
  • Spread meringue over filling. Torch with kitchen blow torch or broil until meringue is lightly browned.

Categories     Pie

Time 36m

Yield 9 pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/8 gallons milk
4 lbs sugar
1/2 lb unsalted butter
1/4 cup vanilla extract
1/2 lb cornstarch
1/2 lb all-purpose flour
1/2 lb sweetened flaked coconut
9 pre-cooked pie crusts
20 egg whites
2 lbs sugar
2 ounces egg whites, stabilizer
sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • For the pie:
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 gallon of the milk, the sugar, butter, vanilla and mix. Use a whisk to make sure that the sugar is mixed well.
  • In a separate container, combine the remaining 1/8 gallon milk, cornstarch and flour. Blend until creamy and smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, bring the milk/sugar filling mixture to a boil. Using a wire whisk, blend in enough of the milk/cornstarch mixture and cook until the mixture is thick enough that you can see the trails in the milk when the whisk is pulled out and the mixture is not runny anymore. You may not need all of the thickener, this all depends on the humidity of the room.
  • While the filling is still warm, add the coconut. Pour into pre-cooked pie shells. Take time to cool and set-up before adding topping.
  • For the topping:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then, mix in the sugar and stabilizer until creamy smooth.
  • Top the pies with coconut. Place in the oven until desired color brown is achieved, about 6 minutes.
