Jim ‘N Nick’s Coconut Pie

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Jim ‘N Nick’s joined us on Good Day Alabama to show us how to make their coconut pie.

Here’s what you’ll need to make it at home.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 2 1/3 oz flour
• 13.5 oz milk
• 3.5 oz egg yolks
• 1.7 oz whole butter
• 6 oz Coco Lopez (cream of coconut)
• 1.7 oz coconut flakes
• Baked pie shell

Directions

1. Whisk the Base

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, salt, and flour. Gradually whisk in the milk, Coco Lopez (cream of coconut), and egg yolks until smooth.

2. Thicken the Filling

• Place the pan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens into a pudding-like consistency.
• Tip: Keep whisking to ensure the bottom doesn’t scorch!

3. Add the Finishers

• Remove from heat. Stir in the whole butter and coconut flakes until the butter is completely melted and the flakes are evenly distributed.

4. Chill and Set

• Pour the warm filling into your baked pie shell. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling (to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least four hours (or overnight) until firm.

5. Garnish

• Before serving, top with fresh whipped topping and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
