Almond-coconut freezer pie
Pies
Some of my best ideas come to me in the middle of the night. I actually thought this one up at about 3 AM. I'd been kicking around a coconut cheesecake recipe trying to perfect it for the coconut contest last week, but I missed the deadline and was getting sick of working on the same cheesecake recipe over and over (as was my boyfriend, who was my chief guinea pig--I mean, taste tester). <br /> <br />And then the new contest came along and the idea came to me in the night. I could cut out all the nonsense and freeze the pie! More R&D: no egg, no baking, I reduced the coconut milk to remove some of the water for better texture after freezing, and combined the graham cracker crust with the the original cheesecake recipe's coconut-almond "croccante". As I type this now, I've just discovered coconut cream, which I could probably use in place of regular coconut milk. But what's done is done (and in the freezer), so I'll leave that for another midnight breakthrough.
