How to Make Double Coconut Meringue Pie
- Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth.
- Add 1 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Stir well.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is thick, bubbly, and comes to a boil (about 2-3 minutes total).
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot coconut milk mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the remaining coconut milk mixture.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently, until the mixture returns to a boil and thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until completely melted and incorporated.
- Pour the filling into a prepared 9-inch coconut pie crust.
- **Meringue:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually increase the mixer speed to high and add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Carefully dollop the meringue onto the pie filling, spreading it to the edges of the crust, sealing the meringue to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut over the meringue.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-18 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Keep chilled.
