Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and creamy.
Gradually add the melted butter into the sugar-egg mixture while continuously whisking.
Mix in the vanilla extract and all-purpose flour until well combined.
Stir in the milk and mix thoroughly to create a smooth batter.
Fold the sweetened shredded coconut gently into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve at room temperature or chilled, and enjoy the rich, buttery flavor with a hint of tropical coconut!
