Coconut Cream Pie

Main Street, Bisbee, Arizona
A perfect place for tea and pie!

Here's one of my favorite "easy" dessert recipes that.  It says to pour it into a pie crust or graham cracker crust, but if you don't have time --- it makes a great custard pudding as well.  Simple and delicious!

Coconut Cream Pie

3 1/2 cup vanilla flavored rice milk*

1/2 cup honey (or alternative liquid sweetener)

6 Tbsp. cornstarch

2 cups coconut, unsweetened, shredded**

2 Tbsp. coconut extract

Save 1/2 cup of the rice milk to use with the cornstarch for thickening.  Bring the remaining ingredients to a slow boil and then add the cornstarch/milk mixture.  Stir constantly until a rolling boil

is achieved.  Remove from heat.  Pour into a baked graham cracker crust or pie shell.  Cool completely, then serve and enjoy.

* soymilk will work fine; if using unflavored, add a 1/2 tsp. of vanilla flavoring

**sweetened coconut will work as well

***for gluten-free option, use gluten free pie crust
