Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the all-purpose flour, sweetened shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated; the batter will appear thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish, ensuring the coconut is evenly distributed in the batter.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg over the top if desired for added flavor.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before slicing.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
