1 can of apricot in light syrup
1/4 cup of toasted coconut flakes
Custard ingredients
1 1/5 cup (300 g) 3.25% milk
1 cup (250 g) coconut milk
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup (60 g) brown sugar
2 ½ tbsp (40 g) flour
1 ½ tbsp (0.8 oz) Scotch
INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE PIE CRUST
- Preheat oven at 350°F.
- Roll out the dough onto a floured work surface. Spread rolled out dough in a pie plate. Prick with a fork and bake until it becomes a nice golden colour.
- Set aside.
PREPARING THE CUSTARD
- In a saucepan, bring milk and coconut milk to a boil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar and egg yolks until the mixture whitens. Whisk flour in a few batches, and add Scotch.
- While whisking constantly, pour boiling milk into the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the same saucepan and cook on low heat while stirring constantly. Cook for a few minutes, making sure the mixture does not stick to the bottom.
- Once the custard is cooked, pour it into the cooled pie crust. Let cool for a few minutes. Drain apricots and arrange pieces on the custard surface.
- Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes, and return pie to the oven for a few minutes. Remove and let cool at room temperature. Enjoy!
