LAWRY'S COCONUT BANANA CREAM PIE (W/COCONUT CRUST)

Steps:

• To Make The Coconut Crust: Lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.
• Melt the 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the coconut flakes, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. They should be golden brown. Press the coconut firmly and evenly in the pan to form a shell. Chill the crust 30 minutes before filling.
• For the Filling: Combine the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the sugar, the cornstarch, salt and flour in a small bowl. Gradually add 1 cup of the half-and-half.
• Combine the remaining 2 cups half-and-half and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a 3-quart saucepan and bring just to boil over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook and stir until the mixture returns to a boil and thickens, about 1 minute. (Do not taste then re-dip your spoon. I've read that enzymes in salvia breaks down the cornstarch and makes it watery, something like what happens with leftover babyfood.).
• Remove from the heat. Stir in 2 drops of food coloring and the vanilla. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool.
• Slice the bananas into the pie shell. Pour the filling into the shell.
• Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until stiff. Spoon in dollops or pipe with a pastry bag around the edge of the pie. Chill 2 hours before slicing.

BANANA COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Open the puff pastry and remove one of the sheets and let it thaw at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
• Spread your unsweetened flaked coconut on a baking sheet and toast at 350'F for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on this as it will brown very fast. Remove as soon as the ends of the coconut become golden. Let cool.
• For The Pudding:.
• Prepare the pudding according to the package directions "except" only use one cup of non- dairy milk. This will make the pudding thicker. Once the pudding boils add 1 cup of coconut whipped cream.
• Give it a good whisk to incorporate.
• Take it off the heat and add the vegan gelatin and whisk again to break up the gelatin. Whisk for a few minutes until the mixture is smooth. Put a lid on it and set aside for now.
• Preheat oven to 400'F.
• To prepare the puff pastry crust:.
• After the puff pastry has thawed out roll it out to fit into a 9" pie dish. If any holes develop, use water to glue the pastry back together.
• Place the rolled out pastry into the pie pan and make sure you get all the air bubbles out from underneath. Prick with a fork.
• Place it into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. I re-pricked the pastry about 7 minutes into the cooking as it did puff up more.
• Once the puff pastry is golden remove from the oven and put it on a metal rack to cool slightly.
• Place enough of the sliced banana onto the puff pastry crust to cover the bottom (and sides if you wish).
• Give the pudding another whisk and then pour it on top of the sliced bananas. Spread it evenly then top with more banana slices.
• Then spread the remaining two cups of coconut whipped cream on top of the banana slices. Spread it out evenly.
• Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the coconut whipped cream Put it into the fridge and let it chill for at least 3-4 hours.
• Bon Appetit!
