Introducing: Purple Yam & Coconut Cream Pie

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am thrilled to share with you a unique and decadent dessert recipe that is perfect for any occasion. This Purple Yam & Coconut Cream Pie is a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining the earthy sweetness of purple yams with the tropical creaminess of coconut. This dessert is sure to wow your taste buds and impress your guests!

I always find joy in experimenting with new flavors and ingredients in the kitchen, and this recipe is no exception. The combination of purple yams and coconut cream creates a velvety, luscious filling that is both rich and refreshing. Paired with a buttery graham cracker crust and a dollop of whipped cream, this pie is a true delight to enjoy.

To create this Purple Yam & Coconut Cream Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

• purple yams (400g, peeled and diced)
• coconut milk (1 can)
• sugar (100g)
• cornstarch (30g)
• butter (50g, melted)
• graham crackers (200g, crushed)
• whipped cream (for serving)

In addition, be sure to have the following kitchen tools ready:

• food processor
• pie dish
• saucepan
• mixing bowl

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they form fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Next, place the diced purple yams in a saucepan with the coconut milk and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the yams are tender. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch with a bit of water to form a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the yam mixture, stirring constantly until the filling thickens.

Pour the purple yam and coconut filling into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours to set.

When ready to serve, top the Purple Yam & Coconut Cream Pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream. The creamy, dreamy texture of the pie combined with the sweet and nutty flavors will leave you craving more with each bite.

This Purple Yam & Coconut Cream Pie weighs approximately 1200g and serves 8 people, with each serving weighing around 150g. Each serving is estimated to have around 300 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra special touch, garnish the pie with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving. This will add a lovely crunch and aromatic flavor to the dessert.
