Coconut Custard with Fresh Peaches

Since I cannot sleep I shall cook! A custard... At 4 in the morning.... Oh gawd...



But anyhoo, here's the recipe:

Coconut Custard with Fresh Peaches

Ingredients:
1 pre-made 9 inch pie crust
1 eggwhite (the yolk can be added to the rest of the eggs)
5 medium eggs/4 large eggs
1 can coconut milk
3/4 cups sugar (I used brown sugar, but granulated is good too)
1 capfull of vanilla extract
3 good shakes of nutmeg
2 pinches of salt
2 peaches, sliced

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
2. Roll out the pie crust into the pie pan. Crimp the edges if you'd like. I like to because its fun. It's also 3. in the morning and I'm bored.... take a fork and prick the bottom of the pie crust with it, this will keep it from puffing up. The egg whites will prevent the custard from making the crust too soggy.

4. Cover the edges with foil to prevent them from over cooking. Bake for about 10-15 mins, until firm and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and them let cool for about 8 mins.
5. Combine eggs, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and salt. Whisk together till smooth and pour into the pie crust. Keep the foil over the edges to prevent burning. Bake at 375 for about 30-40 mins. Test it when the top gets nicely browned and when you insert a chopstick or tooth pick it comes out clean. It'll be a little jiggly, but it's okay. It'll firm up later.
6. Let the pie cool for.... however long it takes to cool... When warmish and firm, cut the peaches and arrange pleasingly on the pie. It'll be pretty and tasty. Yum!
