    I promised my friends at our community Christmas Potluck that I'd post this perfect holiday pie recipe--an easy no-bake confection, tasty and fluffy. See recipe with pictures at Hill Country Mysteries: http://hillcountrymysteries.blogspot.com/2010/12/triple-coconut-cream-pie.html.

    Ingredients

    • Prepare crust first:
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 3/4 cup flour, less 2 tablespoons
    • 2 tablespoons wheat germ**
    • 1/2 cup flaked coconut
    • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
    • wheat germ gives a nutty flavor but you can add 2 Tblsp. flour instead.
    • Filling:
    • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temp
    • 2 tsp. vanilla extract, divided use
    • 1 cup sugar, divided use
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 2 cups flaked coconut, divided use
    • pinch salt

    Directions

    1. Crust Directions:
    2. *Grease 9 inch pie pan.
    3. *In a skillet, melt butter over low heat.
    4. *Stir in remaining crust ingredients.
    5. *Turn heat up a bit and stir constantly until mixture is deep golden brown. (You want the flour to cook and the mixture to toast.)
    6. *Use a spoon to press the hot mixture into pie pan.
    7. *Set aside to cool. Crust will firm as it cools.
    8. Filling Directions:
    9. *Put 3/4 cup coconut in a dry skillet and toast until lightly browned, tossing frequently. Set aside to cool.
    10. *Whip cream, gradually adding 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar, whipping to stiff peaks. Set aside.
    11. *Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, pinch salt and 1 tsp. vanilla until light and fluffy.
    12. *Fold cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups coconut into the whipped cream. Mound in cooled crust, swirling the top to a small center peak.
    13. *Sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
    14. *Refrigerate at least two hours to set filling.
    15. And last, follow my neighbors' lead and treat yourself to a few mouthfuls of sweet tangy coconutty celebration.
