Seriously addictive, flavourful, easy-to-make pies. Perfect party treat. One downside: You will need to bring more of them than you think.
Ingredients:
(Makes one dozen mini pies)
Coconut pudding:
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup milk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter
Mini pie shells
1/2 cup crushed Maltesers candy *
1 1/2 tablespoons shredded coconut *
12 Toblerone pieces
Bake pie shells according to package instructions.
Whisk together milk and coconut in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Whisk eggs, sugar, and flour in a separate bowl. Drizzle 1/3 of milk mixture in and whisk together. Add mixture into saucepan. Whisk constantly for 10 to 15 minutes until it thickens and bubbles. Make sure to scrape against the bottom of the saucepan frequently.
Cool to room temperature. Press plastic wrap onto the surface and chill for at least three hours.
Pour pudding into prepared pie shells. Decorate with crushed Maltesers, shredded coconut, and a Toblerone piece.
* My batch were only decorated with pieces of Toblerone, which works just as well, though not as visually appealing.

This seems complex for me to do on my own. But like the pudding isn’t homemade // can I just buy mini pie crusts? SHOW ME

Jess m’dear, I did use bought mini pie crusts. I suppose you could fill them with storebought pudding too…but honestly, even you can do this.
