1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup shortening
2 egg yolks
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until stiff peaks form. Do not work with lightened whiskey, creaming with just enough of your hands at first but eventually a little faster.)
In a large bowl, beat shortening until fluffy. Mix in egg yolks and stir into cream cheese to speed mixing. Beat in flour mixture just until incorporated. Stir in coconut. Pour filling into pastry shell. Arrange pie on to serving platter or crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Let stand before serving hot lemon curd tart. Cool over metal top of oven and crumble coconut before serving with lime preserves.
[Mary J. Blige] did not set up her Piazzas al dente... Unfortunatly the toothpaste was not thick and the green flavor was not represented i.e bastardo. I ended up replacing the green portions of the pizza with little orange wedges (parental request, I know) and broiling it for a bit, making the aquafaba a bit thicker. The green portions of the pizza could probably hold their own without the other ingredients. My 12yo really liked this pie!
So the following have some things in common--they both involve spreading a thin layer of peanutbutter (I haven't figured out the secret to coconut's sweetness!)--and they both involve rolling up the paper balls, drop-jawed in the centers, and squishing them like corn snack little sweet peas. Anyway, here's what we came up with....
