Vigorously shake the coconut milk cans before opening, then pour into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil, stirring the side and bottom of the pan frequently, especially toward the end of cooking, until reduced to 2 cups, 12 to 18 minutes. Stir in the whole milk to bring the mixture to 3 cups. Set aside until warm or cool completely, cover, and refrigerate up to 2 days before proceeding with the recipe.
Make the caramel
把奶油在一个小平底锅,热ntil very warm. Keep the warm cream nearby along with the butter.
Measure out 3/4 cup of the caramel, and pour into the bottom of the baked and cooled piecrust. Spread evenly. Freeze the caramel-filled pie plate while making the filling. Cover and refrigerate the remaining caramel until ready to serve.
Set the pan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring with a whisk, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat to medium and, whisking constantly, boil for 1 minute, then slide the pan off the heat. Add the butter and vanilla, and stir until the butter is melted and the pudding is smooth. Stir in the toasted coconut. Pour into a bowl or 4-cup measure, and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until no longer hot (the pudding will still feel warm), 20 to 30 minutes.
Peel off the plastic from the filling. Scrape the topping onto the center of the pie and, using a small offset or silicone spatula, spread it to cover the filling, leaving the center slightly domed along with lots of swirls and peaks. Drizzle with some of the reserved caramel (slightly reheated) and scatter with toasted coconut. Serve immediately with the remaining caramel.
The reduced coconut milk and caramel toppings can be made ahead, cooled, and refrigerated (two days for the coconut milk and up to a week for the caramel).
This quick take on eggs Benedict eschews Hollandaise sauce and ham in favor of tangy beurre blanc and fresh asparagus. It takes slightly more than 10 minutes, but it looks…
