Coconut Cream Pie

Coconut Cream Pie

This Coconut Cream Pie recipe features a thick, creamy coconut filling, a crunchy homemade pie crust, mounds of sweet whipped cream, and toasted coconut.

The pie crust is first baked blindly, then the pie filling is refrigerated until dense and green.

Looking at my adoration for coconut cake, you know I fall into the first category. And if you’re reading this, I assume you are, too. Obviously this is what you have to do next!!

If you’re not into the coconut gang, you should probably skip this one. But coconut cream pie isn’t *only* for coconut lovers.

If you appreciate thick, creamy pancakes, a fluffy pie crust, and all that fresh (not store-bought!) whipped cream has to offer, you’ll enjoy every fork.

Despite their similarities, Coconut Custard Pie and Coconut Cream Pie are completely different desserts (and I love them both).

The biggest difference is that the custard pie has a baked filling, while the cream pie does not.

Coconut custard pie made with eggs and milk/creamy custard that hardens and thickens in the oven.
