Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Crust: 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut 1/8 tsp. salt 3/4 cup cold butter, diced 1 large egg yolk 3 tbsp. ice water
Filling: 1 cup sugar 2 tbsp. cornstarch 6 large egg yolks 4 large eggs 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice pinch salt 3/4 cup cold butter, diced
Meringue: 6 large egg whites 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
Directions
For Crust: Combine flour, coconut and salt in a food processor. Pulse in butter until a coarse meal forms. Whisk together yolk and ice water in a small bowl. With processor running, add yolk mixture and blend just until dough starts to form. Gather dough into a ball and flatten to a disc. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours. Roll dough out to a 12 inch round. Form into a 10 inch glass pie dish. Fold dough overhang over decoratively to form edge. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line frozen crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crust about 20 minutes until set. Remove pie weights and foil and bake crust an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
For Filling: Reduce oven to 300 degrees. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk in yolks, eggs, lemon juice and salt. Cook, whisking, over medium heat until mixture thickens and just starts to boil. Whisk in butter until smooth. Cool filling 10 minutes. Pour into crust.
For Meringue: Beat egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and 1 tbsp. sugar and beat to soft peaks. Gradually beat in remaining sugar. Beat to stiff peaks. Fold 3/4 cup coconut into meringue. Spread meringue evenly over pie, edge to edge, to cover completely.
Bake pie 30 minutes. Reduce oven to 275 degrees. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup coconut over meringue and bake about 15 minutes until meringue is set and light golden brown. Transfer pie to a rack and cool completely.
Serves 10 to 12.
