Hi I’m Vicki and I’m Joann welcome to our goose berry patch kitchen if you’ve ever wanted to make a pie for a special occasion our mile-high coconut cream meringue pie is just the ticket it’s creamy and delicious and it’s a recipe you’re going to want to try over and over again and

It’s from our cookbook called coming home with gooseberry patch so let’s get started okay we’re gonna get started by sprinkling the coconut into our pre-baked crust I’m just gonna spread it out there so it’s nice and even and then we’re going to mix our cornstarch in with our sugar and stir to

Mix we’ve got our egg yolks in a medium saucepan here that we’ve got on high heat we’re gonna alternate our milk and our sugar and we’re gonna stir it and whisk it until it thickens and we’re just gonna go ahead and bring that to a boil

And then just cook it until it thickens which should take just about ten or fifteen minutes okay I’ve got my custard it’s nice and thick right here it looks beautiful I’m going to go ahead and add the vanilla I’ll just whisk that in so creamy so pretty

Hmm so nice and smooth and I’m gonna go ahead and just pour it into our crust right over the cone look at that it’s not look good kind of silky smooth and smooth right so then we’ll be ready for your mile-high meringue mmm mmm pretty that is beautiful perfect there

We go okay and a nice deep Bowl we’re going to beat our egg whites on high until soft peaks form [Applause] okay our meringue is it soft peak form you can kind of see how it when I take the mixer out of the meringue they sort

Of stand up okay we’re going to add the cream of tartar and just mix it on low mix it in a little bit and now we’re going to add our sugar slowly and then put it up to be and we want to do this until stiff glossy peaks form we’re all set here

We’ve got nice stiff peaks it’s very glossy and we’re going to add our vanilla and that’s the last step okay our next step is to go ahead and we’re gonna just gently pour this into our coconut pie a nice custardy pie that we’ve got here and this nice and glossy

Meringue is gonna be beautiful we’re gonna bake it in an oven at 325 degrees just for 10 or 15 minutes until it’s just lightly browned on the top and I’m gonna try to mound this a little bit so I get some of those real pretty Peaks in

Here so when we bake it is gonna be beautiful the nice thing about this recipe is sure you could make a banana cream pie you could make a chocolate chiffon mile-high pie you could just do any kind of flavor that you really like okay I think I’ve got enough there now

For the fun part we’ll just kind of swirl a little bit you went some more of this it’s some of these POA yeah gonna make it that mile-high I just want to make sure I had enough okay I’m just going to swirl it a little bit get it

All the way to the edge there you go pretty hop in the oven for about 10 or 15 minutes doesn’t this look impressive I know that meringue is so beautiful it would be beautiful on a buffet table I think everyone would really feel special I think it smell and it feels like we

Worked a whole lot harder on it than we really did thank you no super simple I’ve always good kind of intimidated by morning you know well now we showed everybody just how easy it is Oh a nice flavor I love that coconut in there mmm-hmm we didn’t use very much coke
