- 1 2/3 cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional
- sweetened shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease mini muffin tins with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Unroll prepared pie crusts and using a 2-2 1/2 inch circle, cut out rounds-about 12 per crust. {If you are careful, you can get 13 or 14 per crust.} Gently place the dough circles into the mini muffin tins. Bake 5-8 minutes or until golden. Cool completely.
- For the filling, whip milk, vanilla pudding and coconut extract together for 2 minutes. Set aside to thicken, 5 minutes. Spoon evenly into cooled pie shells.
- Whip heavy cream with sugar, vanilla and cornstarch {optional-see note below*} until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe onto filling. Top each pie with shredded coconut and refrigerate until ready to serve.
