Pineapple Coconut Cream Pie

[Guest guest]

I made this recipe recntly and then realised that I had left the

sugar out of the recipe for the coconut layer. Here's the corrected

recipe.

 

 

Pineapple Coconut Cream Pie

 

 

 

Base:

 

8 or 9 " (20 or 23 cm) base of choice (cookie crumb, nut etc.)

 

Coconut Cream Layer:

4 teaspoons sugar

6 2/3 tablespoons (5 Aust. tbsp) cornflour (cornstarch)

 

 

In a small bowl, combine cornflour with a little of the coconut

cream to form a smooth paste. Set Aside.

In a saucepan, combine remaining coconut cream, vanilla essence,

sugar and agar powder. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for

4 –5 minutes. Stir in cornflour paste. Stirring constantly, return

to the boil. Still stirring, allow to simmer and thicken for around

30 seconds. Pour over prepared base. Place in refrigertor to cool

In a food processor, combine pineapple, sugar and cornflour. Place

Spread over the coconut layer. Return to refigerator.

 

If desired, decorate with slices of fruit such as pineapple, bananas

(soaked in lemon juice), strawberries, kiwi fruit etc.
