Recipe: Old-fashioned Coconut Cream Pie

By Stacey LittleSouthern Bite

Enjoy this extra special treat on Mother’s Day.

I am a huge fan of coconut cream pie, and a local barbecue joint has what I think is the absolute best. So, when a friend of mine pointed me to this recipe, saying it was really close to that one, I immediately ran out to grab the stuff to make it.

Admittedly, it was pretty close, but with a few tweaks, I think this version is now even closer … dare I say, nearly perfect?It’s deliciously thick and creamy with tons of coconut flavor because of the addition of a little coconut extract. And I just love the complement of the sweetened whipped cream on top. While I love a good meringue, I think the flavors of coconut just go so well with the cream. Adding a little toasted coconut on top gives the pie a perfect textural contrast if you’ve got a few extra minutes to toast some, but it’s perfectly delicious without it, too.
