Surprise Coconut Cream Pie
Ingredients
2 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup grits, regular
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter or margarine
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup coconut, flaked
1/2 cup sour cream
1 6 oz chocolate-graham
1 cracker crust, prepared
1 whipping cream, whipped
1 and sweetened (for garnish)
1 maraschino cherries (for
1 garnish)
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil; stir in the grits.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the sugar and butter/margarine.
Gradually add to the bowl containing the beaten eggs, about 1/4th of
the hot mixture; add the egg mixture to the remaining hot mixture,
stirring constantly. Cook over low heat until the mixture thickens
and reaches 160 degree F (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat, and
stir in the flaked coconut and sour cream. Spoon mixture into the
prepared pie crust; cover and chill. Garnish, if desired. Makes one
9-inch pie.
