Today is National Coconut Cream Pie Day, and we’re going to bake one.
A cream pie, or creme pie, is plain pastry or crumb pastry shell with a pudding filling. Banana, butterscotch, chocolate, and vanilla pudding are the most common fillings. A coconut cream pie mixes flaked coconut into a vanilla pudding base.
Our recipe gives you options to customize your pie crust and filling:
Regular flaked coconut or toasted coconut
The optional addition of bananas or crushed pineapple
An optional whipped cream topping
Four different choices of crust: plain pastry, coconut, chocolate coconut or chocolate crumb
