COCONUT CREAM PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Add sugar, cornstarch and salt to a medium bowl and whisk together. Add egg yolks and whisk until combined and smooth. It may be crumbly at first, but keep whisking until a smooth paste forms and it lightens in colour.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until mixture begins to simmer.
• Once coconut milk mixture begins to simmer, immediately remove from heat and slowly pour a little bit into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
• Slowly pour the remaining milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
• Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium heat. and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and begins to boil, about 3-5 minutes. Mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Allow to boil for an additional 30 seconds.
• Remove from heat and add coconut extract and butter. Whisk until butter is melted and combined.
• Strain custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Fold in the shredded coconut, if desired.
• Place plastic wrap directly on top of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350F. Line one 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Lower the speed to medium-low and mix in the eggs, one at a time until just combined.
• Add the sour cream, vegetable oil and coconut extract and mix until combined.
• Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to batter and beat just until combined, then add 1/2 of the coconut milk and mix until just combined. Continue mixing in 1/2 of the remaining dry ingredients, remaining coconut milk, then remaining dry ingredients. Remember to mix each addition until just combined before adding the next.
• Scoop batter into cupcake liners, filling them 2/3 way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Remove cupcakes from oven and allow to cool in pans for about 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely. Meanwhile, make a batch of my Dreamy Coconut Buttercream Frosting (link above).
• Core the centre of each cupcake using the bottom of a large piping tip, or an apple corer.
• Remove the coconut custard from the refrigerator and stir to loosen. Using a disposable piping bag or ziplock bag, fill the cupcakes with the custard.
• Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (I used Wilton 2A). Pipe a swirl onto the cupcakes.
• Hold the cupcake over a plate of toasted coconut and lightly dip while turning the cupcake until it's all coated. Serve and enjoy!

THE BEST COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the pie crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 4 to 5 times until the dough forms a ball. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.)
• Transfer the dough to a work surface. Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Roll the dough on a lightly-floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift the sides of the parchment to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• For the filling: Whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the milk and the cornstarch in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined. Stir together the remaining 3/4 cup milk, the half-and-half, sugar and kosher salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until barely simmering. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the hot milk and cream into the egg yolks while continuing to whisk. Pour the custard back into the pan and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is very thick and smooth, about 5 minutes; it will be the consistency of a pudding. (If the filling has scrambled a bit, or doesn't look smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl before adding the coconut.) Stir in the butter until melted, then stir in the vanilla and shredded coconut. Spread the filling into the cooled pie crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pie and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• For the meringue: Add the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and kosher salt to the bowl of a stand mixture fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to combine. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture feels very hot to the touch. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and add the vanilla. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the pie and gently mound the meringue on top of the filling. Use an offset spatula to completely cover the filling and meet the crust all around the edges. (This will completely seal in the filling and help prevent weeping.) Use the offset spatula to form swirls and peaks in the meringue. Toast the meringue using a kitchen torch or broil in the oven until golden brown, keeping an eye on the meringue if broiling. Sprinkle all over with toasted coconut and serve.

Continue to add the remaining heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately or keep refrigerated.
• To assemble the cupcakes, remove the middle of the cupcake using a spoon, knife, or cupcake corer. Cut off the tip of the Ziplock bag and fill the center with the coconut mousse filling. Top with cream cheese whipped cream. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. These cupcakes must be refrigerated.
