Como fazer Coconut Cream Meringue Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk until completely smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened significantly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks slightly. Temper the yolks by gradually whisking in 1 cup of the hot filling mixture.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining filling. Stir constantly.
- Bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat immediately. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
- For the meringue: In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Add 1 teaspoon cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the hot coconut filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup flaked coconut.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 13-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and lightly toasted.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before chilling.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Refrigerate leftovers.
