Luscious Lemon Coconut Cream Pie: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you love the refreshing zing of lemon paired with the tropical sweetness of coconut, the Luscious Lemon Coconut Cream Pie is the ultimate dessert. Creamy, tangy, and delicately sweet, this pie is perfect for spring gatherings, summer parties, or just a treat to brighten any day. Below, we’ll walk through every step of crafting this indulgent dessert, from the flaky crust to the creamy coconut-lemon filling and fluffy whipped topping.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Lemon Coconut Filling:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Toasted coconut, for garnish

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until all crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly for a sturdy crust.
4. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely before adding the filling.

Pro Tip: Pressing the crumbs tightly ensures the crust won’t crumble when you slice the pie.
