- Hi, I'm Sally from Sally's Baking Addiction,
and today I'm showing you
how to make my favorite coconut cream pie recipe.
The filling is soft, creamy,
and sets up beautifully when sliced.
Everything is made completely from scratch
and the flavor is fantastic.
You can go heavy or light on the whipped cream,
I like to go heavy for a nice, big, tall slice.
We're going to begin to blind baking the pie crust,
and I'll walk you through every single step.
You can find this full recipe on my blog,

Begin by rolling out your pie dough.
Remember to do this slowly and with care.
If the edges begin cracking,
bring them back together with your fingers.
If they continue to crack,
you can always moisten your fingers
with a little bit of water
to help bring the edges back together.

Crimp or flute the edges,
then chill the pie crust in the refrigerator.
The pie crust should be cold going in the oven
so it holds its shape.

After refrigerating, fill the pie crust with pie weights.
The pie weights also help the crust
hold its shape while baking.
Bake the crust for about 15 minutes
until lightly brown on the edges.

Once the edges are lightly browned,
remove the crust from the oven.
Remove the pie weights,
then prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
This prevents any air bubbles.
Return to the oven until the whole crust is golden brown.

As the pie crust is cooling, make the filling.
The first step is to combine egg yolks and corn starch.
These will thicken the pie filling.
Have this mixture ready to go next to the stove.

Now we'll combine canned coconut milk, half and half, sugar,
and a little salt in a medium saucepan over a medium heat,
then we'll temper the egg yolks.
(lighthearted music)
Remove the mixture from heat,
then stir in coconut, softened butter, vanilla extract,
and a little coconut extract for extra flavor.
Pour into the cooled pie crust, cover and then chill.
(lighthearted music)
Let's top the chilled coconut cream pie with whipped cream.
Simply whip together heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract,
and you can even add coconut for extra flavor if desired.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top, then dig in.
