  • Pie Pan
  • Whisk
  • Wire rack

Ingredients

For the Custard

  • 1 cup Sweetened Flaked Coconut You can choose unsweetened for a less sugary taste.
  • 2 cups Whole Milk For a truly tropical experience, substitute with coconut milk.
  • 3/4 cup Sugar Balances the sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor of the custard.
  • 4 large Eggs Fresh eggs yield the best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Consider using pure vanilla for better flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps achieve a slight rise, ensuring your custard sets perfectly.

For the Crust

  • 1 round Pie Crust A pre-made or homemade crust sets the stage.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking this delightful pie.
  • Prepare the pie crust by fitting it into your pie pan if using store-bought, or roll out your homemade crust to fit the pan snugly.
  • Whisk together the eggs, sugar, whole milk (or coconut milk), baking powder, vanilla extract, and sweetened flaked coconut in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the edges are set and the center remains slightly jiggly.
  • Cool the pie on a wire rack completely before slicing.

Serving

  • Serve your pie chilled or at room temperature.
  • Optional: Top with toasted coconut flakes for an added crunch.

Notes

Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother custard without lumps. The custard should be slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven to ensure a creamy texture.
