We would never just randomly make and eat a pie for no good reason. So, in honor of Tuesday, we celebrated with this Coconut Cream pie.
I’ve always thought the ratio of whipped-cream topping to coconut cream should be 2:1. And whip your own cream, please. It’s so easy. And tasty. I start with placing a bowl and mixer whip {or beaters} in the freezer for at least twenty minutes. Remove from freezer, add heavy cream, and whip at high speed until soft peaks form. Turn off mixer and add flavorings. For us, 2-3 tablespoons {or more} powdered sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, and a teaspoon of rum extract. Mix again until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie and top with toasted coconut.
Also quite good on Mondays, Wednesdays, and especially nice on Friday nights.
How do you celebrate Tuesday?
I celebrated Tuesday by going on a date with myself for drinks steak and potatoes. ALL ALONE! It was down right selfish! Probably answer to God for that one too.
