Coconut Pumpkin Pie
This recipe is from Debbie Klauber of DEBBIE’S KITCHEN, a hip and friendly deli & bakery in Albany, at 456 Madison Ave., and was printed in Metroland on Nov. 16, 2006. It makes two exotic pies. If buying this ready-to-go chopped and peeled pumpkin, which helps a local farmer deal with his pumpkin bumper crop, by the way, you will need two bags.
  • 2 - 10-inch pie shells
  • 4.5 cups cooked pumpkin, pureed in a blender, processor, or mashed
  • 6 eggs
  • 1.5 cups coconut milk
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup white sugar (can sustitute with 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (can sustitute with 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 T. Vanilla extract
  • 1 T. almond extract
Set your oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add all of your ingredients and mix. Pour your mixture into each pie shell. Bake for the first 10-12 minutes in a 425-degree oven, then turn the temperature down to 350-degrees and continue baking for about 30-40 minutes. Take your pies out and cool to room temperature before serving. Enjoy and think of me! Two 10-inch pies serves up to 16 people.
