1

Prepare pie crust according to blind-baking instructions of recipe.

Spread coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Place into 350 degrees F oven for 8-10 minutes until coconut has just begun to turn brown. Set aside to cool.

3

Pour coconut milk and half-and-half into a liquid measuring cup. Add egg yolks and whisk together with milks. Set aside.

4

Add sugar and cornstarch to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk egg and milk mixture together once more and then slowly begin to add to the sugar and cornstarch, whisking together constantly. Bring custard mixture to a boil. Switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon and continue to stir constantly. Boil one minute. Remove from heat and add butter, coconut, vanilla and salt.

Spread custard into pie crust. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 30-45 minutes.

Notes

This makes a lot of whipped cream topping. I usually only use 1 or 1 1/2cups cream instead of 2 cups. Source: https://addapinch.com/coconut-cream-pie-recipe/
