LEMON AND TOASTED-COCONUT MERINGUE PIE

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.)
• Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under; crimp decoratively. Pierce crust all over with fork; freeze 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is pale golden, about 15 minutes longer. Cool completely on rack.
• For filling:
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Whisk sugar and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Whisk in yolks, whole eggs, lemon juice, and salt. 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.

Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives used scissors-fashion until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over the mixture, stirring with a fork to moisten it evenly. Continue adding water until the dough just begins to come together when a small bit is pressed between your fingers; do not overwork the dough. Press the dough together into a ball and knead lightly. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 2 days.

TOASTED COCONUT WHITE CHOCOLATE DREAM PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Toast the Coconut: Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the coconut shards on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, watching carefully and stirring once or twice, until lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Prepare the Custard Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until well combined. Add the milk, coconut milk, and vanilla bean. Over medium-high heat, stir with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens and begins to boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Ladle a bit of the hot sauce into the eggs and whisk to warm the eggs gradually. Repeat, and then scrape the warmed eggs into the sauce in the pan. Stir to combine. Place the pan back on medium-high heat, and continue stirring slowly while bring the custard back to a boil. Maintain a slow boil for 1-2 additional minutes, stirring slowly to prevent browning on the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat. Add salt, vanilla extract, and coconut extract, and stir until incorporated. Scrape the custard into a strainer set over a medium bowl and push the custard through the mesh into the bowl. This ensures that you will have no lumps in your custard. Stir the white chocolate into the hot custard until melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a crust from forming and refrigerate until completely cold. The custard will thicken considerably as it cools. Prepare the Crust: Coat a 9½- to 10½-inch diameter, 5- to 6-cup capacity pie plate with vegetable spray. Reserve. Process the coconut, sugar, and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Stop the machine and pour the melted butter over the top of the crumbs. Pulse to combine. Add the crumbs to the pie plate, pat the crumbs evenly across the bottom and firmly up the sides, and level the top edge. The edges should be 1/4-inch thick, and firmly and evenly pressed against the bottom and sides of the pan. Don't pat the crumbs over the horizontal edge of your pie plate, if it has one, as the edge will shatter when you cut the pie. Put the pie pan on an edged baking sheet ad bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes, until fragrant and nicely browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Assemble the Pie: When the pastry cream is cold, and not too long before serving, fill the baked pie crust with it, smoothing the surface. In an electric mixer with the whisk, whip the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla on medium speed. Gradually increase the speed to high and whip to peaks that are firm enough to hold their shape. Top the pie with the whipped cream and then sprinkle with the toasted coconut shards and shaved white chocolate.
