Start by preheating your oven to 350° F

Mix until a crumbly dough forms then grab a lined 8x8 baking dish, and place your shortbread crust in the bottom. Press until one even layer is formed then place it in the oven for 22 minutes.

Coconut cream filling

Grab a medium sauce pan and add your coconut cream, whole milk and coconut flakes. Mix on medium heat until your mixture starts to bubble.

While you’re coconut cream, milk and coconut flakes are heating on the stove grab a medium bowl and add your eggs, granulated sugar and cornstarch mixed together until smooth

Once your coconut cream, milk and coconut flakes comes to a light simmer, ladle the hot mixture into your eggs slowly. Repeat until about one cup has been added to your egg mixture.

Add your eggs back into your coconut cream, milk, and shredded coconut on the stove and turn the heat to medium low. Mix consistently for about five minutes or until the mixture thickens. Add in your butter and mix until combined.

Remove from the heat and place in a bowl
