This gloriously colored&nbsp;Coconut Custard Easter Pie is sure to be the hit of your Easter dinner! Easy, fast and delicious!&nbsp;

Coconut Custard Easter Pie

half-and-half

milk

white sugar

custard powder

cornstarch

salt

colored coconut

coconut flavoring

9 inch pie shell, pre-baked

Mini chocolate eggs

Whisk together in a large saucepan the half and half, milk, yolks, sugar, custard powder, cornstarch and salt.

On low heat slowly bring to a boil, this will take a good 10 minutes minimum depending on how hot you are cooking it at. Keep on stirring it making sure it doesn’t burn until the mixture is thickened up a lot.  When the mixture has thickened, stir in the coconut flavoring.

When it’s thickened pour it into the pie shell and refrigerate until cooled completely, a good 4-6 hours or overnight if you wish.

Now, you can top it one of two ways. Make whipped cream and then top it with little sprinkles of the colored coconut or skip the whipped cream and put the coconut right on top of the filling. This way you can make the little nests that you see, otherwise it’s all going to just weigh down the whipped cream beneath and not work out.

This Italian Easter meat pie is also know as pizza rustica. This hearty ricotta and meat pie is customarily served at Easter, but it is a delicious meal anytime of the year.

Italian Easter Pie | Pizza Rustica

½ cups all purpose flour

butter,

olive oil

water

ricotta cheese

mozzarella cheese ((about a cup))

shredded parmesan ((about ¼ cup))

eggs,

ham, diced ((about 1 ½ cups))

salami, chopped ((about ½ cup))

prosciutto, chopped ((about ½ a cup))

pepper

egg,

In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, olive oil, egg, and salt. Pulse just until the mixture is combined; it should resemble coarse sand. With the food processor running, pour 4 tablespoons of cold water in and mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

Lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Dump the dough on to the plastic wrap and press together into a disk shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.

For the Pie Crust

In a large bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients, and mix until combined. Set aside.

For the Filling

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Divide the dough into two pieces: two-thirds for the bottom crust and one-third for the top crust. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough into a circular shape. Carefully place the dough in a greased springform pan and line the insides and bottom with it. You can use any scrap pieces to fill in the gaps in the pan.

Pour the ricotta filling into the crust. Use a spatula to smooth and even it out.

Roll out the remaining pie crust into a circle. Place it over top of the ricotta filling. Trim any excess overhang and use the side crust to roll over the top crust of the pie. Brush the pie with a beaten egg and make a small &quot;x&quot; shape in the middle of the pie to allow steam to escape.

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for about 75 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool for five minutes before removing the collar; let sit for another 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
