How to Make Coconut Custard Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges to make it look nice.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and optional coconut extract, and whisk until everything is well mixed.
- Stir in the shredded coconut. This will give your pie that yummy coconut flavor.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the coconut evenly.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set. You can check this by inserting a knife into the middle; if it comes out clean, it’s done!
- If the edges of the crust get too brown, cover them with foil to prevent burning.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, then put it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Garnish with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes if you like.
