Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Crust: 1/3 cup melted butter 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
Filling: 1 1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups sweetened, flaked coconut 6 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 2 tbsp. cornstarch pinch salt 4 ounces chopped white chocolate 1/4 cup butter 3 tbsp. dark rum
Garnish: 1/4 cup sweetened, flaked coconut 2 ounces white chocolate, grated
Directions
For Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine melted butter and chocolate cookie crumbs in a medium bowl. Stir until evenly moistened. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch glass pie dish. Bake crust about 10 minutes until set. Transfer crust to a rack and cool completely.
For Filling: Stir together milk, cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Heat to a simmer over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let stand 15 minutes. Uncover and stir in coconut. Return to a simmer over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk together yolks, sugar, corn starch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the hot milk mixture. Return the mixture to the pan and heat to a boil, whisking. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in white chocolate and butter until melted. Stir in rum. Let the filling cool to lukewarm. Spread the filling evenly into the prepared crust. Cover and refrigerate pie at least 4 hours until the filling is well chilled.
For Garnish: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place coconut on a sheet pan and bake about 3 to 5 minutes until golden and toasted. Sprinkle the warm coconut over the top of the filling. Sprinkle the white chocolate over the coconut. Let pie stand about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
