The Absolute Best Coconut Cream Pie

The absolute best! A creamy, old-fashioned coconut cream pie recipe that this avid baker has used for over 30 years. I have never tasted a better recipe.

You can freeze coconut cream pie, but it’s best to freeze it before you add the whipped topping. If you plan to freeze the pie, go ahead and bake the pie in an aluminum pan. Wrap the whole thing in a layer of storage wrap, then in a layer of aluminum foil.

Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then top with the whipped topping and coconut flakes before serving.

INGREDIENTS:

1 c milk

1 c sweetened, flaked coconut

1 c light cream

1/2 c sugar

2 Tbsp corn starch

2 eggs, separated
