Paying a few bucks for a vanilla bean may seem unnecessary, but using this one ingredient makes all the difference and you can literally taste the seeds in every bite. Don’t cut corners when it comes to chilling the crust in both stages, and make sure you have nice golden brown edges before removing the dried beans, and after the beans have been removed during the second stage of your blind bake. You’ll want to make sure you have just the right consistency before rolling it out and shaping (see the recipe for details). Butter crust can be fickle, and the addition of coconut makes this crust slightly more challenging to work with. The cream should be whipped and the pie should be assembled no earlier than the day of serving– but these are the easiest and most fun parts of putting your pie together! The pie crust can be baked one day in advance, but we don’t recommend that you bake it any earlier than this for optimal texture and freshness. The crust can be made up to one week ahead before baking and the filling can be made 2-3 days in advance. But never fear– with a little bit of planning and pacing yourself, anyone can make this triple coconut cream pie.

With coconut laced in every layer including the crust, coconut cream, and toasted coconut shavings on top, this pie is nothing short of a national treasure.
