Sådan gør du
Forbered skorpen
Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F). Place the Digestive Biscuits / Graham Crackers into a food processor. Blend until nice crumbs form. Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl. Add the melted Butter.
Press the crust mixture onto the bottom of a 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes and let cool on a rack while preparing the filling.
Forbered fyldet
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the Egg Yolks and Cornstarch together. Set aside.
Place a saucepan over medium heat, whisk the Coconut Milk, Heavy Cream, Sweet Whole Milk, Sugar, and Salt together. Whisk occasionally and bring to boil. Then turn the heat down to medium-low.
Use a ladle to add the milk mixture slowly into the yolk mixture.
Quickly whisk them together to avoid the yolks scrambling until it turns into a smooth mixture.
Then pour the mixture into the pot and mix well together. The pudding beings to bubble and thicken up. Continue to whisk and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add the Unsweetened Coconut Flakes, Butter, and Vanilla Paste. Whisk well.
Pour the warm filling into the cooled pie crust. Cover tightly with plastic wrap on the surface. Let it cool down close to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare the topping
Roast the Unsweetened Coconut Flakes in a preheated oven at 175 C (340 F) for a few minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, whip the Heavy Cream, Sugar, and Vanilla Paste together on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes until it forms nice medium peaks.
Use a soft spatula to add the whipped cream on top of the pie filling. Make any desired shape you like. Garnish with Roasted Coconut Flakes.
