Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 20 crisp oatmeal cookies (we used Nabisco Honey Maid)
  • 1/2 stick (4 Tbsp) butter, melted
  • Filling
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, in its own juice, well drained, reserve juice
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 small Tbsp butter, cut
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • small pineapple chunks, mint sprigs

Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 9-in. pie plate with nonstick spray.

Crust: Process cookies in food processor until fine crumbs form. Add butter; process until crumbs are moistened. (Or finely crush cookies in a plastic food bag. Add butter; knead to mix.) Press over bottom and up sides of pie plate. Bake 12 minutes until toasted around edge. Cool on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, make Filling: Mix sugar and cornstarch in a 2-qt saucepan. Add enough pineapple juice to coconut milk to make 21⁄2 cups. Stir into sugar mixture, then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally (not briskly). Boil 1 minute; remove from heat. Whisk yolks to mix. Gradually whisk in about half the hot mixture; return yolk mixture to saucepan. Stir over low heat 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in butter until melted. Stir in pineapple and coconut. Pour into crust. Cover surface with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Up to 2 hours before serving: Beat cream and sugar with mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie. Garnish as shown.

Planning Tip: Can be prepared through Step 3 up to 2 days ahead.
