How to Make Coconut Tapioca Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup quick-cooking tapioca, and 2 large eggs until smooth.
  2. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, toast ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown. Set aside to cool on a plate.
  4. Cook the tapioca mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a rolling boil and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon coconut extract.
  6. Pour the mixture into a bowl set in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir until completely cool, about 4 minutes.
  7. In a separate medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the cooled tapioca mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
  9. Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust (9-inch).
  10. Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly around the edges of the pie.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
