MAMA'S COCONUT PIES

Steps:

• 1. This recipe makes two pies. you can either make home made pie crust or you can use store bought. When taking to a church function or a funeral or family gathering I use the store bought crust. It is only when I am having company at my home will I make homemade pie crust. Bake your pie crust ahead of time. (guess you could call me lazy)
• 2. in a heavy medium sauce pan stir together the sugar, flour, until combined (or if you chose, you can stiff the sugar and flour together, works both ways)
• 3. add the 6 egg yolks, stir just to break the yolks then add the 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 can of water and stir well.
• 4. Bring this to a boil over medium high heat, until thickened. Stirring constantly, turn off heat, add coconut and vanilla then pour into baked pie shells.
• 5. to make topping whip egg whites until stiff peaks are formed, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
• 6. divide the topping for both pies making sure the topping closes over the edge of the pie crust. Bake in preheated oven of 350* for about 10 to 15 mins.

COCONUT MACAROON BROWNIE PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray. Whisk the egg white, granulated sugar, almond extract and salt in a medium bowl until frothy. Add the coconut and stir to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, then transfer to a baking sheet. Bake, rotating the pan occasionally, until the crust is golden brown around the edges and dry and lightly toasted in the center, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly.
• Make the filling: Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in the eggs, almond extract and salt. Whisk in the almond flour until smooth.
• Pour the filling into the crust. Loosely wrap a strip of foil around the crust edge to prevent it from over-browning. Bake on the baking sheet until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes (the filling will crack slightly in spots). Transfer to the rack and let cool completely.
• Make the topping: Whisk the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon over the pie before serving.

COCONUT CUSTARD PIE

OLD FASHIONED COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the half-and-half, eggs, sugar, flour and salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in 3/4 cup of the toasted coconut and the vanilla extract. Reserve the remaining coconut to top the pie.
• Pour the filling into the pie shell and chill until firm, about 4 hours.
• Top with whipped topping and with the reserved coconut.

MAMAW PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Bake your pie shells according to package directions and let them cool completely.
• While your pie shells are baking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium and add the pecans and coconut. Toast your coconut and pecans in the butter until they become golden brown (roughly 10 minutes). Keep stirring constantly -- these can scorch easily. Set them aside to let them cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until creamy. Fold in your whipped topping by hand -- be careful not to "break it down" too much, but still get it incorporated nicely (it's such a fine line, isn't it?).
• Have your baked and cooled pie shells ready to fill -- it's time to start layering!
• Start by using 1/2 of your cream cheese mixture and divide that evenly between the two pie shells (so, technically, each pie will get 1/4 of the mixture).
• Drizzle 1/4 of your caramel sauce over the cream cheese mixture on each pie, use 1/4 per pie and 1/2 the jar total for this layer.
• Sprinkle 1/4 of the pecan/coconut mixture over the caramel on each pie. Again, use 1/2 of the mixture total.
• Repeat the layers, using the remaining ingredients. Place pies in the freezer overnight.
• You'll pull them out about about 20-30 minutes before serving to let them thaw a bit. You can store them in your freezer for about a month. I double wrap mine in Press-N-Seal and then add an additional layer of foil on top of that, to prevent any freezer burn.

MOM'S COCONUT PIE

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl, put 2 cups of sugar and add your 1/2 cup of melted Country Crock butter and stir with a large spoon.
• 2. Now add your 1 cup of whole milk to this mixture and stir with your spoon.
• 3. Add an egg one at a time to your mixture, stirring as you go until you have added all six eggs.
• 4. Now add 1 tablespoon of vanilla flavoring to your mixture and stir well.
• 5. Begin to add your Baker's Angel Flake sweetened coconut a little at a time stirring as you go until you have it completely mixed in your bowl.
• 6. Divide mixture between your two Pet-Ritz pie shells. You may have a little left over. I put my pies on baking sheets lined with Reynolds wrap for spillage. Less mess to clean up.
• 7. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Some ovens vary so keep a careful watch. They will not jiggle easily if they are done. Enjoy! Some of my friends love this with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream on top. And some like it plain.
