Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Unbaked pie crust
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and slightly thickened, but not stiff peaks.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the sweetened shredded coconut to the bowl and fold gently to combine.
Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk into the coconut mixture. Use a spatula to carefully fold the ingredients together until fully incorporated.
If using, scatter the semi-sweet chocolate chips on the bottom of the prepared pie crust for a layer of chocolatey goodness.
Spoon the coconut mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Keep an eye on the pie during the last 5 minutes to avoid over-browning.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will allow the filling to set further and make slicing easier.
Serve at room temperature, or chill slightly for a firmer texture. Optionally, garnish with a drizzle of melted chocolate or some toasted coconut flakes for added flair.
