Well, now it's the turn of the coconut pies. Here are 5 easy and step-by-step recipes. The most popular cooking options have been selected - the pies for them are simply amazing! Let's make a coconut pie.
Before moving on to the baking recipes, I will add a few lines about the coconuts themselves. If you are not interested, then just scroll below and choose a recipe from the content.
Coconut pies are usually understood as: pie with coconut flakes and pie with fresh coconut pulp.
Coconut is much easier and faster to cook with. If you are planning to bake a pie with pieces of coconut pulp, then you will have to work a little. But the taste will be more versatile!
Peel the coconut, drain the juice and scrape out the pulp, which then needs to be finely chopped.
The difficulty is that it is not for nothing that coconut is called a “nut,” although formally it is not. It is very dense, has a hard shell that cannot be removed without force.
How to get to coconut water and pulp? Here's a quick and easy way!
Take a coconut and find a spot on it where there are small dark holes (pits). There are three of them. From there, by the way, sprouts appear.
Take a hard knife, nail, or something sharp and pierce one of these three dimples. Tuck well, and then gently drain the water.
By the way, there is no coconut milk in coconuts! Coconuts contain "coconut water" or coconut juice. Milk is obtained from coconut artificially: they mix coconut water with mashed coconut pulp. Everything is thoroughly mixed, whipped, and then the very milk is "squeezed out" from this mass.
So, the water was drained from the coconut. Now you just need to wrap the coconut in some kind of bag and knock it hard with a hammer. The outer crust will crack, and there you can already cut out the pulp with a knife.
Easy to prepare, but very, very, very tasty coconut jellied pie.
It uses shavings from coconut ingredients. The cake itself is soaked in cream, or condensed milk. Or fruit yoghurt! Another name is born from here: creamy coconut pie.
The amount of sugar is determined by your preference, which is why I set such large intervals.

Beat the sour cream with sugar, eggs, syrup and flour. Add 20 g of coconut flakes there.
Rinse the apples, remove the cores and cut into wedges or small cubes. If you wish, you can still first remove the peel from them if it is too thick and dense.
Grease a baking dish with oil, place the rolled dough in it. Press the molds well to the bottom and walls to form the sides.
Lay the apples on top and sprinkle them with the rest of the coconut.
Then comes the curd-sour cream layer.

Cooking the biscuit. We mix all the ingredients for the dough. Yes, you can just dump everything into one cup and knead well. You will get a dense dough that becomes shorty. It needs to be put in the refrigerator for half an hour or an hour.
When the dough is frozen, take it out of the refrigerator and roll it thinly on the table.
Grease the mold with butter, put the dough in it, press it along the edges with a fork and cut off the excess protruding parts. You also need to pierce the entire area with a fork so as not to swell.
Cover with parchment and put in the oven (200 degrees) for 15 minutes.
Getting started stuffing
We mix sugar, salt, eggs, starch, vanilla sugar. Add oil and shavings there. Put in a saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, for 10-13 minutes until thickened.

We mix the yolk with the protein, bring to complete unification, partially dissolve the sugar crystals. If possible, start the food processor, then the whole kneading procedure will take a couple of minutes at most.

Regarding the fat content of a fermented milk drink, any is suitable - from a high percentage to 1% fat-free. Here you can safely reduce the calorie content of the dish.
Next, add sifted wheat flour and baking powder, a pinch of salt - individually. Sometimes, instead of baking powder, they take soda. Some are quenched in the old fashioned way with vinegar / lemon juice, but in a fermented milk environment, the foam from soda / alkali forms on its own.
Knead the viscous glossy dough thoroughly. Do you recognize? Also looks like what for jellied pies and fritters. The main thing is to remove dry lumps, to create a smooth texture of very thick sour cream.
To prevent the bottom layer from sticking to the container, we lay the parchment, cover the board as well. We fill it with dough, distribute it evenly over the entire form - the thickness of the layer should be the same everywhere, without bumps. Mix separately the second half of the sugar (90 g), vanilla sugar and coconut.
Densely sprinkle the moist base with a sweet and light mixture with coconut.
The shavings burn out too quickly, so we cover the semi-finished cake with a sheet of foil - we send it to the oven preheated by that time, bake for 30-40 minutes at a temperature of 170 degrees. Brown the last 5-10 minutes without foil.
We check the readiness by piercing with a torch. Without taking it out of the dishes, generously pour twenty percent milk cream, cool. Only then we take it out, separate it from the paper and cut it in portions.
Serve our homemade coconut pie. By the way, there will be not only tea, coffee, but also refreshing drinks.
