Delicious Lemon Coconut Dessertby Dale Harcombe | More from this Blogger 02 Nov 2009 12:44 PM Necessity is the mother of invention so they say. Also of good recipes. This is another delicious coconut pie which came about because I didn't have a tin of pineapple one time when I wanted to make it. Rather than rush up to the local store, which would have cost me more as they are expensive I opted to adapt. Yes, I know, if I'd planned ahead it wouldn't have happened. But hey, we won't go there. And tinned pineapple is usually a staple in my pantry. Anyway the result was an even more delicious dessert. Wheat and Gluten Free Lemon Coconut Pie Pie shell 8 ounces of gluten free sweet biscuits - I use coconut biscuits but any sweet biscuit will do. 4 Tablespoons lemon juice (you can use orange juice, but I prefer lemon) or you can use a small amount of melted butter or margarine but why add extra calories? Combine crushed biscuits and orange juice. Press into a pie dish greased with butter or margarine. Place in the fridge to chill. Lemon filling 2 Tablespoons gluten free flour Half a cup white sugar One and a half cups water 5 tablespoons lemons lemon juice & 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (I like it tangy and so does Mick, but if you like it sweeter cut the amount of juice and zest (lemon rind) down. 2 eggs 2 ounces butter or margarine Put flour and sugar in a saucepan and blend with water. Heat till boiling, stirring all the while. When mixture is thickened, simmer for 2 minutes. Take from heat. Stir in lemon juice, zest, butter and egg yolks. Pour this into chilled biscuit base. Coconut Topping 1 tablespoon margarine 2 tablespoons sugar 1 egg Half a teaspoon vanilla essence Coconut Third cup milk (I use skim milk, but you can use full cream if you want) Beat butter and sugar to a cream. Add beaten egg, milk and enough coconut to make a firm mixture. Spoon over chilled lemon filling. Bake in moderate oven till lightly golden. This dessert is delicious served hot or cold. As always the ingredients I use are gluten free. If this is not a problem for you, just use any sweet biscuits and any plain flour.
