Squared Coconut Pie

Not coconut SQUARES, this is coconut pie times two, and it honestly couldn't be any easier: instant coconut cream pudding in a rich and buttery toasted coconut crust! I always use salted butter in my baking (I know, bad! Read more ) and it really works here, tempering the sweetness of the pudding and the pre-sweetened coconut and chocolate crust. The rum flavour here is optional, I'm making this for Andrew who loves Pina Coladas, so I included it. See less
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups shredded sweetened coconut shopping list
- 1/4 cup salted butter, softened shopping list
- 2 tbsp flour (use rice or tapioca flour to keep this GF) shopping list
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder shopping list
- 1 (4-serving size) package instant coconut cream pudding mix shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk, cold shopping list
- 1/2 tsp rum extract (optional) shopping list
- 1/2 cup cold water shopping list
- 1/2 tsp coconut extract shopping list
- 1 package Dream whip topping mix (unprepared) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Using a food processor, combine coconut, butter, flour and cocoa to make a "mouldable", slightly sticky dough.
- Press into a greased pie plate.
- Bake 10 minutes, then place in freezer to chill completely.
- Meanwhile, beat together pudding mix and milk, and add extract if using.
- In another bowl, whip cold water, coconut extract and Dream Whip powder for 2 minutes until "stiff peaks" form.
- Fold Dream Whip into the pudding mixture gently but thoroughly.
- Spread pudding mixture in chilled crust, refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours to set before serving.
- **Note: you will have about 1 1/3 cups of the filling left over if you made a traditional 9" pie. Either make another pie, eat it right out of the bowl, or (my favourite) put the filling into ramekins and freeze them for chilly coconut mousses!**
