2 Tablespoons light or dark brown sugar firmly packed
½ cup salted butter melted (113g)
FILLING
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup sugar 150g
4 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 egg yolks
1 cup coconut milk shake well before pouring (236ml)
1 cup heavy cream 236ml
1 cup whole milk 236ml

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
CRUST
00:45 Preheat oven to 350F (175C)
01:00 Place macadamia nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (or finely chop them with a large knife).
01:15 Add to a large bowl with graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar and stir to combine.
01:25 Add melted butter and stir until all crumbs are moistened. Pour into 9 ½” pie plate and firmly pack into the bottom and up the sides of the dish (I like to use the bottom of a clean measuring cup to help evenly and firmly pack the crust).
01:52 Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Reduce oven temperature to 325F/165C. Evenly spread coconut over a cookie sheet and transfer to 325F (165C) oven. Cook for 5 minutes, remove from oven and use a spatula to stir well. Return to oven and cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat until all coconut is toasted a light golden brown. Once toasted, set coconut aside and allow to cool. Meanwhile, prepare your filling.
02:07 In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
02:22 Add eggs, coconut milk, heavy cream, and whole milk. Whisk well. Turn heat to medium heat and whisk frequently until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
02:58 Once mixture begins to bubble, whisk continuously for 45 seconds, it should achieve a pudding-like consistency at this point and coat the back of a spoon.
03:05 Remove from heat and add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking until combined after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and coconut extract (if using) and stir in 1 cup of your toasted coconut (reserve remaining 1/2 cup for topping).
03:41 Pour into prepared pie crust and place a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the pie, to prevent a skin from forming.
03:58 Allow to cool to room temperature, then transfer pie (still covered) to refrigerator to chill 2-3 hours or overnight before topping with whipped cream and serving.
ASSEMBLY
04:15 When ready to serve, pipe³ or dollop whipped cream evenly over the top of your coconut cream pie.
04:37 Sprinkle with reserved toasted coconut. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
