Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (for serving)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, egg whites, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and melted butter. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Press the coconut mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
  5. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, heavy cream, cornstarch, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
  6. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the filling is thick and smooth.
  7. Pour the coconut filling into the cooled coconut crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight until the filling is set.
  9. Before serving, garnish the pie with toasted coconut flakes and serve with whipped cream on top.
  10. Enjoy the delicious and creamy Coconut Macaroon Pie!
