Recipe #8: Coconut Cream Dessert from Great Grub, Delicious Treats

Description

This delightful coconut cream dessert layers a buttery graham cracker crust, a rich and creamy coconut cream, and a light homemade whipped cream topped with toasted coconut.

Ingredient Summary

For the crust, you need graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. The coconut cream filling consists of milk, egg yolks, cornstarch, salt, sugar, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. The topping is homemade whipped cream made from heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla, garnished with toasted coconut flakes.

Recipe Summary

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare an 11×7 baking dish with non-stick spray. For the crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until it resembles sand that clumps together. Press this mixture into the baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Let it cool.

For the filling, whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, salt, and a portion of the milk. In a pot, heat the remaining milk with sugar until it simmers. Gradually temper the hot milk into the egg mixture, then return all to the pot, adding shredded coconut and vanilla, and cook until thickened. Pour the custard over the cooled crust, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and chill for 2-3 hours.

For the whipped cream, beat cream, sugar, and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread over the chilled custard and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
