Ingredients:
For the Crust:
-
1 pre-baked 9-inch pie shell (store-bought or homemade)
For the Filling:
-
1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
-
1 cup whole milk
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
4 large egg yolks
-
1/4 cup cornstarch
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted, for texture)
For the Massgas Whipped Cream:
-
1 cup heavy cream (chilled)
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 Massgas cream charger cartridge (N₂O)
Garnish (optional):
-
Toasted coconut flakes
-
Lime zest
Instructions:
1. Make the Coconut Filling:
-
In a saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 8-10 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and toasted shredded coconut. Pour into the pre-baked pie shell. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 4 hours.
2. Prep the Massgass Whipped Cream:
-
Chill everything: Ensure your cream charger tank, whipped cream dispenser, and heavy cream are all refrigerated for 30 minutes before starting.
-
Load the dispenser: Pour chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla into the cream dispenser. Screw on the head tightly.
-
Charge it up: Attach the Massgass cream charger cartridge to the dispenser’s valve. Follow your device’s instructions to release the gas—usually a firm, quick twist. Shake the dispenser vigorously upside-down for 10 seconds to integrate the gas.
3. Assemble the Pie:
-
Remove the chilled pie from the fridge. Discard the plastic wrap.
-
Dispense the cream: Hold the whipped cream dispenser upside-down. Pipe fluffy swirls over the entire surface of the pie. (Pro tip: Start from the edges and work inward for a bakery-style look.)
-
Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes and lime zest on top.
