🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly so the pie's thickness is consistent. This ensures even baking.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
