FARRAH FAWCETT`S COCONUT CREAM PIE

THIS IS SAD, JUST SAD................THIS IS LIKE ME WITH MY PLATE OF STEW PEAS WITH THE BIG, FATTY PIG'S TAIL smiling broadly at the camera for a picture taken for Nyam Jamaica about one month before my last diagnosis ...........difference is I changed my diet......Farrah didn`t!
I again watched with horror the segment in the documentary Farrah's Story where they showed her baking cream pies . How come nobody suggested that she needed to change her diet? With her fighting spirit who knew what the outcome would have been?
Check out this recipe for Farrah's Coconut Cream Pie that she shared with Good Morning America prior to the opening of her last movie The Cookout - no doubt the ingredients are similar to the pies that she was baking in the documentary:
Ingredients
1 frozen ready-to-bake pie crust (9-inch)
3 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of corn starch
1 can unsweetened coconut milk (13.5 ounces)
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Cooking Directions
Preheat oven to 325 F.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk eggs thoroughly. Whisk in whole milk slowly to thoroughly combine. In another medium-sized bowl, whisk the sugar and corn starch together.
Whisk in the coconut milk. Whisk the egg/milk mixture into the coconut mixture making sure the combined mixture is thoroughly smooth and there are no lumps.
Place the frozen pie crust on the bottom rack of the preheated oven. Carefully add the combined coconut mixture. Top with 1/2 cup of the flaked coconut.
Bake for 30 minutes. Carefully move pie to the top rack of the oven and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of flaked coconut. Continue baking for an additional 30 minutes until the pie sets and the coconut flakes on top turn golden brown.
Carefully remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Now that is cancer in waiting!
