Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your unbaked 9-inch pie crust by placing it into a pie dish, ensuring it's evenly pressed against the sides and bottom. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl, whisking until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Stir in the sweetened shredded coconut, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the filling mixture.
Pour the coconut filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a light golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour. This helps the filling set further.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut before serving.
