How to Make Lite And Dreamy Coconut Cream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow pan, toast 1/4 cup (30g) shredded coconut over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Set aside.
  3. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup (100g) Splenda, 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups (475ml) low-fat milk into the Splenda mixture until smooth.
  5. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg yolks until thick and pale yellow.
  8. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup (175ml) of the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  9. Pour the yolk mixture into the remaining hot milk mixture in the saucepan, whisking constantly.
  10. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute, or until the mixture returns to a gentle boil, whisking constantly.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (90g) toasted coconut, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other desired flavorings).
  12. Immediately pour the filling into your prepared pie crust.
  13. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
  14. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm.
  15. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut over the top.
