Nanny always made the best coconut cream pie and I really missed it so I got the recipe from my mans nan and tried it out.
I have to say for my first time it turned out perfect and tasted just like nanny's always did, I deffently felt her with me smiling when I did it. :)
Heres the recipe for you to try I promise you wont be sorry!
3 egg yolks - beaten
3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. flour
pinch of salt
3 c. milk
1 c. coconut
In a large sauce pan mix sugar, flour, & salt over med. heat and add 1 c. milk.
Heat the remaining 2 c. milk in microwave and add coconut to pan, once 2 c. mlik is warmed add to pot.
Temper yolks and add to pan. Stir constantly until mix thickens and bubbles break on top.
Remove from heat and add 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 tbsp. butter and stir till melted. Pour into prepared pie crust and cool covered with saran wrap directly on top of filling.
