Dreamy Coconut Cream Pie

After many attempts I finally came up with my idea of the perfect cream pie. From top to bottom you'll love everything about it!

This coconut cream pie turns out perfect every time. It's thickened with both cornstarch and egg yolks so you won't end up with a droopy, soupy pie. The key is to just be sure to cook the custard long enough to get it to that nice and thick state.

Then in this recipe you'll use a little cream cheese to balance out the sweetness of the pie and to and a nice faint tang (reminiscent of cheesecake) which pairs perfectly with the coconut.

And if we are going to make a coconut cream pie it better have plenty of coconut flavor so here we use shredded coconut, coconut milk and coconut extract. No one will be left wondering what type of pie this is, it has an abundance of real coconut flavor.

It's one of those desserts that will have people fighting for the last slice. Soon enough people will be requesting this for the next holiday celebration!
