A dusting of powdered sugar adds an elegant touch, while optional accompaniments like whipped cream or vanilla ice cream make every slice irresistible. Perfect for coconut lovers, this macaroon-inspired pie is your new go-to treat for holidays, gatherings, or indulgent weeknight desserts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and softened butter. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or whisk for this step.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light texture from the whipped egg whites.
Place the 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess dough from the sides.
Pour the coconut filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. If the crust or coconut starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before serving.
Slice and enjoy your chewy macaroon pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
