Re: coconut cream pie recipe

September 18, 2009

This sounds delicious! I can't wait to get far enough along to try

it.

Topping with toasted coconut reminds me that when I was growing up (my

mother was a great cook, her favorite hobby) we used to make pie crusts

with toasted coconut. I think maybe we added some melted butter but I'm

not sure we didn't just pack it in a bit. It was great!

I just looked up coconut cream to see what it IS, and I found a

description saying it's nothing but coconut, not even any water

added. THey ground to a very fine powder, which they say turns into

a very creamy consistency because of the high fat content. Sounds to me

like they are making " coconut butter " just like our nut

butters!

> I made up a recipe yesterday using the coconut cream I bought

from Tropical Traditions, and it came out great. There's not a piece left

today, and I now have a new " no apologies " dessert to serve

guests. Very quick to make! Enjoy. Hope you like it as much as my

family!
