How to Make White Christmas Pie

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups milk.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Boil for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  6. Let the mixture cool slightly, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken (about 15-20 minutes).
  7. Beat the cooled gelatin mixture with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 cup heavy cream.
  9. In a separate clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  10. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  11. Gently fold the meringue into the gelatin mixture in three additions.
  12. Fold in 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut (or unsweetened, to taste).
  13. Pour the filling into 2 baked 9-inch pie shells.
  14. Sprinkle with additional coconut, if desired.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
