Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coating a 9-inch pie dish with grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky batter by whisking together shredded coconut, milk, sugar, flour, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture reaches a uniform, velvety consistency.
- Carefully transfer the luxurious coconut blend into the prepared pie dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown top and checking doneness by inserting a knife near the center – it should emerge completely clean.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest and slightly cool, which helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
- Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, revealing a creamy, tropical-inspired dessert with a delicate, golden exterior.
Notes
- Enhance coconut flavor by toasting shredded coconut before mixing for a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Substitute dairy milk with coconut milk for an extra rich and intensely coconutty experience.
- Use gluten-free flour to make the pie suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top for a delightful crunchy texture and visual appeal.
