NOW FOR THIS FAMILY RECIPE: MASTER COOKBOOK RECIPE: Coconut Cream/Meringue Pie Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut pie crust 1/4 cup salted butter 12 oz. can evaporated milk 1/2 cup water 5 large eggs, separated 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup cold water 3 Tbsp corn starch or 6 Tbsp flour 4 Tbsp salted butter 2 tsp vanilla extract Instructions: Toast coconut at 350°F until golden, tossing occasionally. Pre-bake pie crust for about 20 minutes at 375°F until golden after the coconut browns. Melt butter in the microwave, then whisk in milk and 1/2 cup water. Beat egg yolks separately and add them with salt and sugar; whisk again. Whisk starch (or flour) with cold water, add to the pudding, and whisk thoroughly. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove and whisk thoroughly, ensuring that you whisk along the sides and bottom to incorporate any starch that has settled. Continue to cook for 2-minute intervals until the filling is thick and creamy. Remove from the microwave and whisk in vanilla and butter. Reserve 2 tbsp. toasted coconut to garnish the pie and mix the remaining coconut into the pudding. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Top with Meringue Recipe #446. (below) Seal the meringue around the edges of the crust, leaving no holes. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Garnish with coconut. Do not add coconut to top of pie until 10 minutes of baking time has passed. This will ensure the coconut doesn’t overbrown. MASTER COOKBOOK RECIPE #446 Tammy's Meringue Ingredients: 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp cream of tartar 2 tsp corn starch 5 large egg whites, room temperature Instructions: Combine sugar, cream of tartar, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Mix well. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites on high until frothy. Add 1 Tbsp of dry mixture, wait for foam, then add remaining dry ingredients one tablespoon at a time, beating until glossy and peaks form. Check every 30 seconds; do not overbeat. For pie, place meringue on hot filling. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes, ensuring at least 20 minutes of cooking time. For a simple old fashioned meringue omit the cornstarch and/or cream of tartar. When cooling the pie, it must stay at room temperature until completely cooled. Do not place a warm pie in the refrigerator with meringue, or it will weep. Meringue is best served the day you make it. It is not like the meringue you see in the stores today. It does change shape, so make the pie the day you plan to serve it. Use monk fruit sugar in the meringue for a beautiful meringue with a crispy crust! It is delicious this way. “This is better than my old favorite way (using powdered sugar). It results in a shiny meringue that still looks glossy after baking.” – Tammy ORDER MY MASTER COOKBOOK!
