Pumpkin-Coconut Pie
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, plus more for topping
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 15 -ounce can pure pumpkin
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon coconut rum (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- Make the crust: Pulse the flour, coconut, 2 tablespoons butter, the shortening and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal.
- Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces.
- Drizzle in 2 tablespoons cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together.
- Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk.
- Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
- Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
- Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edge with your fingers.
- Chill at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake until golden around the edge, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and weights and continue baking 5 more minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Gently whisk the pumpkin, coconut milk, sugar, eggs, rum, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in a large bowl until combined.
- Pour into the prepared crust and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Transfer to the oven and bake 1 hour.
- Sprinkle more coconut around the edge of the pie; continue baking until the center is almost set but still jiggles slightly, about 15 more minutes.
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
