Print Recipe

A delightful dessert featuring a creamy coconut filling topped with fluffy meringue, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the whole milk over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened.
  2. Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl and slowly pour in the hot custard, whisking constantly. Return to saucepan and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in butter, vanilla, and coconut.
  3. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla extract.
  4. Spread meringue over the coconut filling, sealing edges. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Cool the pie for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature egg whites for better volume when whipping. To prevent meringue from shrinking, spread it to the edge of the crust.
