Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the melted butter to the dry mixture along with the three large eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk.
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and well combined. The batter will be quite liquid, and that’s perfectly normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. Use a spatula to ensure the coconut is evenly distributed across the dish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife or toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. The pie will finish setting as it cools.
Serve the pie slightly warm or chilled. You can garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
