🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal. This is a crucial step, trust me!
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Make sure there aren't any lumps! I use a hand mixer for this, but a whisk works too if you’re feeling like a superhero.
  3. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing will make your donuts tough!
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly so the pie's thickness is consistent. This ensures even baking.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely tent it with foil.
  6. Let the pie cool completely in the pan before removing it from the springform pan and placing it on a wire rack. This step is essential, otherwise you'll have a messy situation!
  7. Once the pie is completely cool, use a sharp knife or a donut cutter to cut out donuts from the coconut cream pie. Be careful not to squish the delicate pie!
  8. Dip the top of each donut in melted coconut oil or butter to lightly coat and then generously sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Get creative here. My favorite is using a mix of sweetened and unsweetened flakes.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your incredible coconut cream pie donuts! You deserve it after all that hard work.

📝 Notes

  • Make sure your coconut milk is well-shaken before using it.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, a hand mixer will also work well.
  • For best results, use freshly toasted coconut flakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or your donuts will be tough.
  • Let the pie cool completely before cutting out the donuts, otherwise, they may fall apart.
  • Experiment with different toppings if you like!
